"The President should at least, for the sake of appearances, have turned aside and glanced through the note before reading it to the meeting. But instead, he would just take it and read it off.

He complained darkly about U.S. militarists, but added, "We will wait for negotiations. If the next President will not negotiate, then we will wait for the one after that." His audience-the bigwigs of East German Communism...
...plainly deciding to talk tough at the summit. Then came May Day. During the May Day parade in Moscow, Khrushchev and Malinovsky, up in the Red Square reviewing stand, were observed excitedly poring over a military map, and at one point, a messenger was sent dashing off carrying a note scribbled by Khrushchev. The U-2 had been downed over Sverdlovsk...
