: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
:59:00
Meanwhile
the quarantine isn't working
:59:03
and they're completing work
on the missiles sites
:59:06
Sir, I think we have to issue
pre- invasion orders for our forces
:59:10
Mr. President
:59:12
This morning's photography is in
:59:14
It appears the Soviet have commenced a
crash program to ready their missiles
:59:19
The first missiles
become operational last night
:59:22
We expect they'll all be operational
in 36 hours
:59:25
Then we're out of time
:59:27
We have to go in
:59:27
That may not be
as easy as we thought, either
:59:29
We have confirmation
the Soviets have also deployed
:59:33
battlefield nuclear weapons to Cuba
:59:35
FROGS, we call them
:59:36
Short- range tactical nukes
:59:38
We don't know whether
they've delegated release authority
:59:41
to their local commanders
for use on our invasion troops
:59:44
But the good news is
as of this moment
:59:47
we know where the FROGS are
and we can target them, too
:59:51
But the longer we wait
the harder it's going to get
