:26:00
your analogy with Pearl Harbor
is false and pejorative.

:26:03
At Pearl Harbor, the Japanese
without provocation or warning

:26:06
attacked our fleet thousands of miles
from Japanese shores.

:26:10
In this situation,
the Soviet Union installed

:26:12
lethal weapons 19 miles from our coast,
:26:15
and they have done this 140 years
:26:17
after the Proclamation of
the Monroe Doctrine.

:26:19
I don't, dispute that, Mr. Acheson.
:26:21
Moreover, within the last five months,
the Congress,

:26:23
and even more recently
the President himself,

:26:26
has reiterated our opposition
to the establishment

:26:28
of offensive weapons in Cuba.
:26:30
Now, how much warning must we give
:26:33
to avoid the stigma
of Pearl Harbor in reverse?

:26:38
I have come here to Yale,
to this center of learning,

:26:43
and I've enjoyed your warm reception.
:26:47
But you will learn,
as this country has learned,

:26:51
that the Democratic Party is
best for you,

:26:53
as it is best for the country.
:27:02
Yes, he's here now, right.
:27:05
Well, Kenny, is some comfort
that they look worse than we do.

:27:08
How was the response in New Haven?
:27:10
I didn't notice.
:27:12
How is he doing?
:27:13
On top of it,
but I think his back is giving him hell.

:27:16
I'm calling Jackie tonight and asking her
:27:19
to come back to Washington
with the children.

:27:21
I think is a good move.
:27:23
Ted?
:27:24
Yes, sir.
:27:25
A student in Connecticut shouted that,
:27:27
I should have more courage
and less profile.

:27:30
The man has a way with words.
:27:32
Maybe we should put him on the payroll.
:27:34
Yes, on your payroll.
