Respected Mr. Khrushchev,I would like you to know my personal impression of your settlement of the Cuban crisis. I have never had the opportunity to meet any statesman who has acted with the magnanimity and grandeur that you have displayed in dealing with Cuba,and I want you fully to understand that all sincere and honest people acknowledge your courage.

 

With unchanged respect,

BERTRAND RUSSELL
