At almost the same instant, Soviet monitoring stations in the Pacific, in Central Asia, on the Black Sea, and near Murmansk in extreme northwestern Russia recorded the waves clearly. After...
...harm Cuba or against our allies if they let us mount U2 flights from their soil; by putting the squeeze on Berlin; by wild out bursts at the United Nations which may suggest to many people that Krushchev is as mad as Hitler--in these and other ways, the Soviet rulers may so terrify and disorganize the peoples of the West that they will compel their governments to give in without reciprocal concessions...
