"The possibility that the Soviets had no intention of doing more than providing the missiles is real. It did not occur to me earlier than your letter which impresses upon me how much we are affected by the treatment of events, even when we are critical of them."

"Can you tell me where Herbert Jenkins' book was published and by whom? I agree that the matter of the nuclear warheads and the role of the Mafia both in Cuba and in the U.S.A. need wide attention. I intend to take both questions up in an article and I should be grateful for your permission to quote from the correspondence to which you refer in your letter."
