Re: the slogan "Better red than dead". "The true alternative is either to acquiesce in the steady drift to war, or to fight against the intolerance, the impotence, and the apathy that produce it."

BR thinks attribution of slogan to him was originated by Joseph and Stewart Alsop in an article published in USA in 1955. (Possibly BR has the date wrong. Could the interview be B&R E58.03?)
