...helping hand from the White House, which said that the President and Vice President agreed "exactly." Kennedy no longer stressed that he wanted to move the Chinese Nationalists out of the is lands, and said he could go along with the "prelude to invasion" definition.

...nearly all Japan's top politicians were gathered together on the same platform in Tokyo's Hibiya Hall. There was conservative Premier Hayato Ikeda, Democratic Socialist Leader Suehiro Nishio and Socialist Party Chairman Inejiro Asanuma.

Susskind later apologized, said he knew nothing of the commercials...
