Mr. President
1:05:02
The OAS meeting starts
in less than an hour
1:05:04
Good. I think we need this one. Dean
1:05:07
We can't expect miracles
1:05:09
The quarantine is legal
if we get a mandate
1:05:13
Otherwise it's an act of war
in the eyes of the world
1:05:14
So you gotta get me the vote
1:05:16
And make it unanimous
1:05:18
Mr. President
the Organization of American States
1:05:19
hasn't had a unanimous vote since...
1:05:20
Unanimous, Dean
1:05:50
In accordance
with this afternoon's vote
1:05:52
at the Organization of American States
1:05:54
the quarantine
will hereby be effective
1:05:57
as of ten o'clock tomorrow morning
1:06:16
At eight a. m. this morning
1:06:17
the United States
1:06:19
detonated a hydrogen bomb above
Johnston Island in the South Pacific
1:06:22
The blast was quickly condemned
by the Soviet Union
1:06:25
who called upon all nations
to denounce the United States
1:06:29
for bringing the world
to the brink of destruction
1:06:31
Who the hell authorized the test?
1:06:32
What is this gonna say
to the Russians?
1:06:34
They look warlike?
1:06:36
Jesus Christ
we're lighting off nuclear weapons
1:06:38
like it's our own
private Fourth of July
1:06:40
You know what?
1:06:41
We should have brought in the guys
from the Atomic Energy Commission
1:06:44
and talked this through
1:06:46
Looked at these tests a little harder
1:06:49
before just giving the go-ahead
1:06:53
You know, last summer I read a book
"The Guns of August"
1:06:58
I wish every man on that blockade line
had read that book
