His Right Wing friends are going wild.

He sees history ahead of us a little bit. Obviously necessary and
done with style. I wish you would tell the President too.

I will tell him. It will mean a hell of a lot to him.
W :
A whole new world out of it.
K:
Yeah.
W:
Vietnam there because of China.

Yeah.
W:
Vietnam there because of China.
K:
Yeah, yeah.
W:
the paranoid of why people make all those mistakes.
K:
The psychological outcome on the woldx world.
W:
It has already changed the world -- not only the meeting but the
new position in the UN which they won't accept.
K:
They won't accept it now.
W:

election.
W:
Well, I started
liefes life as an Independent -- I voted for Eisenhower.
