But at the age of 20, young Montini was well enough to enter the seminary of Sant Angelo in Brescia. He was, then as now, somewhat withdrawn and bookish. One teacher recalls him as the best pupil he ever had, while some fellow students detected in him the quiet charisma of the born leader.

But at his news conference, the President drew comfort from the fact that of some 17,000 Cuba-based troops, the Soviet Union has "withdrawn approximately 3,000 in these past weeks. We are waiting to see whether more will be withdrawn, as we would hope they would be."
