On Exchanges with Despots.
NIKITA KHRUSCHEV:(addressing Western ambassadors, 1956): “We will bury you!”

"There is no question but that your people and you want the government of the United States being for peace; anyone who thinks that it is not for peace is not an accurate observer of America. In order to have peace, Mr. Prime Minister, even in an argument between friends, there must be sitting down around a table. There must be discussion. Each side must find areas where it looks at the other's point of view. The world looks to you today with regard to Geneva. I believe it would be a grave mistake and a blow to peace if it were allowed to fail."
Khrushchev: "The two sides must seek ways of agreement."
