Williams writes of his memories of the Cuban Missile Crisis. At the time he was a student at the University College of North Wales, Bangor. Tom Kinsey "asked me to try to arrange for Bangor students to carry out reconnaissance work at the BBC Radio transmitter at Llanddona in nearby Anglesey with a view to facilitating a take over of the transmitter if the crisis deepened." "I do not know for certain that the plan to seize the transmitter was directly sanctioned by Bertrand Russell."
