To be absolutely certain about something, one must know everything or nothing about it.

There's nothing more we can do about (the accidental bombing),

There is nothing we are doing with the Soviet Union that you do not know,

On the one hand we want the Soviets to think that the situation might get out of hand, while on the other hand we want to persuade them not to let it get out of hand. The Soviets might stop without a major nuclear exchange. I don't believe they have an unlimited urge to escalate. I think they will be looking for excuses not to escalate.

I think that America's recovery of a global strategic view is an absolutely essential element of our foreign policy.

One word - dismal. There's nothing else to be said but absolutely dismal.
