“You know, it's very clear, as one looks back on history again of the Cold War that, following the crisis in Cuba, following the Khrushchev - beating down of Jack Kennedy in Vienna, that President Kennedy believed that we had to join the battle for the Third World, and the next crisis that developed in that regards was Vietnam.” KnowsWorldLooksWarNextPresidentClearColdBattleThirdsRegardCrisisFollowingVietnamCold WarCubaThird WorldViennaPresident KennedyJack Kennedy Author:Alexander Haig
“Everybody thinks of others as being excessively human, with all the frailties and crotchets appertaining to that curious condition.
