General
:13:07
the Joint Chiefs have just signaled
our intent to escalate to the Soviets
:13:11
You've signaled an escalation
:13:12
which I had no wish to signal
and which I did not approve
:13:18
Get out of here, Max
:13:19
Yes, sir
:13:29
Rescind the order. Can all the Chiefs
:13:31
Put Nitze, Gilpatric
and the Undersecretaries in charge
:13:33
Yes, we can
:13:34
We can't fire the Chiefs, Bobby
:13:37
Our invasion talk
would look like a bluff
:13:40
Or even worse
if there's been an attempted coup
:13:46
Jesus
:13:55
Kenny
:13:57
give me a couple minutes
alone with Bobby
:14:10
Just try this on for size
:14:13
We get a hold of Walter Lippman
:14:15
and we leak the idea of pulling
our Jupiter missiles out of Turkey
:14:20
The Soviets
pull their missiles out of Cuba
:14:25
We back JFK! K. and K. must talk!
:14:26
End the arms race, not the human race
:14:28
Hey, hey, JFK!
Let's not start a war today!
:14:39
Kenny
:14:41
Mac
:14:42
What did you think of
the Lippman column this morning?
:14:44
It's a bad idea
:14:45
Thank God. Look
everybody's furious about it
:14:47
We trade away our missiles in Turkey
and we are dead politically
:14:49
You've gotta stop it
:14:51
We know it was Jack and Bobby's idea
:14:52
They leaked it to Lippman
:14:53
The military guys are going ape
and they're not alone
:14:55
They should speak up
:14:57
Christ, Ken, it's not that easy
:14:58
It is
:14:59
It isn't. They don't trust
the people that feel this way
