" We have heard from all of our allies". President Kennedy smiled. " There is complete support for what we are doing".

Bobby spoke up. " The British, Germans and the others have never taken our feeling about Castro seriously".

Bundy took a sip of coffee. " Soviet missiles are on Germany's doorstep". His voice hesitated. " They live in the shadow of war".

" Is Rusk speaking to the OAS?".

McCone spoke up. " Mr President, we have learned that Soviet submarines are heading toward the quarantine zone".

Bobby stared at his brother. " Khrushchev did say that he would order his ships to push through the quarantine".

The President frowned. " How far away are the Soviet ships?".

McNamara spoke up. " The first ship should reach the line tomorrow".

" Bobby, I would like you to chat again with the Soviet Ambassador?".

" Okay".
