The Unites States almostwent to nuclear war. Perhaps no one will ever knowhow close it...

The Unites States almost
went to nuclear war. Perhaps no one will ever know
how close it came except for Nikita Khrushchev who apparently
had no illusions. The feeling
in official Washington after one of the most
frightening weeks in history, is that it's too early
for elation but not too early
to wonder what happened, and why it happened. Moscow, of course,
in the last 48 hours has seemed contradictory
and zigzagged as if the Kremlin were having
a great, private debate. The I's are not dotted,
and the T's are not crossed, but everything seems easier. The mood here
is still cautious, spelled with a capital C. Khrushchev has offered to
remove his missiles from Cuba. If he does, we will call off
the quarantine and there will be no invasion. The President today called Khrushchev's decision
statesmanlike. Has the United States made
a deal with Moscow? The answer is no. What, then,
is in this for Khrushchev? There will be
no armed showdown, there will be no nuclear war. The Cuban problem
will still be there for us... Well, that's that
