:57:01
We got a back-channel communication
:57:04
form Kruschev this evening
feeling us out about a deal
:57:08
He confirmed it
just a little while ago in a letter
:57:11
Thank God
:57:13
Jack kicked us out of his house
for the night
:57:17
Darn it
:57:19
For a second there
I thought you'd been fired
:57:22
No such luck
:57:30
Driving home
:57:34
there was something
I wanted to tell you
:57:44
Finish that thought
:57:50
Yes?
:57:51
Kenny, It's Bob
:57:52
We're getting another letter
over the teletype from Kruschev
:57:55
I have a bad feeling
:57:56
I'll be right there
:58:04
You're beautiful
:58:13
It looks like
Fomin was a ploy after all
:58:15
and they were just stalling for time
:58:24
It gets worse
:58:27
Gentlemen
:58:28
my specialists are in agreement
:58:30
This morning's letter is not Kruschev
Last night's letter was
:58:32
The evidence supports
only one conclusion
:58:34
There's been a coup
and Kruschev was replaced overnight
:58:40
Dean?
:58:41
It does suggest he's been co-opted
by hard-line elements
:58:45
Which at the end of the day
amounts to the same thing
:58:48
A puppet Kruschev
:58:49
and a hard-line Soviet government
pulling the strings
:58:51
No deal. And the missiles
are almost operational
:58:55
What if the Soviets have no intention
of honoring this second deal?
:58:58
The tomorrow
they make another condition
