October 1962 page 13 by ric gustafson
Khrushchev was sitting in his office. There was a knock at the door.
His son Sergei walked over and opened it.
Malinovsky walked in. " Ambassador Dobrynin has wired us the text of Kennedy's speech".
Khrushchev sighed. " Just give me the short points".
" They have discovered the missiles".
" I knew they would discover them".
" They are now implementing a blockade around Cuba".
" Do you think they will invade the country?".
" Kennedy claims there will be no invasion".
Khrushchev scratched his chin. " Action must be met with action".
Malinovsky spoke up. " You need to inform the Presidium what has happened".
Khrushchev grinned. " I will prepare a response to Kennedy's words".
