...spoke with admiration, almost with tenderness, of those who beat us up and insulted us? This is what I find ominous. Evidently it is such people who are supposed to know what is socialism and what is counterrevolution. This is what I find terrible, and that is why I went to Red Square. That is what I have fought against and what I shall continue by all lawful methods known to me to fight against for the rest of my life...
...Costa e Silva held down the cost of living at great cost to himself. "We went through 1967 without any miracles," the President says. "I prefer a sure and measured success." Maybe some miracles are needed. Brazil should be taking off economically; it is barely holding its own. Education is a shambles: half of the population remains illiterate, and there is no room at the university for two of every three students who pass the entrance exam.

...questioned what the response of the Russians might be, General LeMay assured him there would be no reaction." At a congressional briefing, Arkansas Senator J. William Fulbright also preferred direct military action to "the weak step" of a blockade. As one of the principal debaters, U.N. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson went to the other extreme, advocating appeasement of the Russians by abandoning the Guantánamo naval base in Cuba and dismantling missile sites in Turkey and Italy. Without elaboration, Bobby reports that "we all spoke as equals. We did not even have a chairman. Dean Rusk-who, as Secretary...
