Cytat
Do celu tam się wysiada. Lec Stanisław Jerzy (pierw. de Tusch-Letz, 1909-1966)
A bogowie grają w kości i nie pytają wcale czy chcesz przyłączyć się do gry (. . . ) Bogowie kpią sobie z twojego poukładanego życia (. . . ) nie przejmują się zbytnio ani naszymi planami na przyszłość ani oczekiwaniami. Gdzieś we wszechświecie rzucają kości i przypadkiem wypada twoja kolej. I odtąd zwyciężyć lub przegrać - to tylko kwestia szczęścia. Borys Pasternak
Idąc po kurzych jajach nie podskakuj. Przysłowie szkockie
I Herkules nie poradzi przeciwko wielu.
Dialog półinteligentów równa się monologowi ćwierćinteligenta. Stanisław Jerzy Lec (pierw. de Tusch - Letz, 1909-1966)

.The media were also accommodated, though not in such style.The Fasangarten Barracks, also in the southwestern suburbs, had space for five hundred men and sixty women in shared rooms.Shuttle buses took them to the press center, established in the Neue Hofburg, the late-nineteenth-century addition to the Imperial Palace where the Congress of Vienna had been held in 1814–15.The Neue Hofburg now housedthe International Atomic Energy Commission and therefore had a large auditorium equipped for simultaneous translation, with several radio and TV studios and some 130 phone and telex lines—to which the Austrians added many more.86The American advance party also had intensive discussions about the agenda with their Soviet counterparts, led by General Nikolai Zakharov.On the first day meetings would be held in the U.S.ambassador’s residence, on day two at the Soviet embassy in the center of Vienna.The latter was naturally more spacious and the Soviets could offer several rooms for the American delegation accompanying the president, whereas the Americans could offer only one for the Soviets at their residence.“Will that be adequate?” asked the U.S.ambassador, H.Freeman Matthews.“In the short space of time you cannot build a house” was the reply.“We will be content with whatever you’re able to give.”87On June 1 both sides spent an afternoon checking out the twovenues.The Soviets wanted to choreograph everything minutelyand expressed “consternation” at the president’s request that the meetings at the U.S.residence be “completely informal,” with no seating plan.There was even more “consternation” at the American desire for photo opportunities inside the Soviet embassy.But both matters were settled to American satisfaction and the discussions, lubricated by various toasts to the success of the conference, re-191reynolds_01.qxd 8/31/07 10:30 AM Page 192su192mmitsMap 4-2 The U.S.Information Agency distributed this map for journalists covering the Vienna summit.(John F.Kennedy Library)reynolds_01.qxd 8/31/07 10:30 AM Page 193v i e nna 19 61mained cooperative and good humored.On the other hand, it be-came clear that the Soviet advance men were mainly concernedwith VIP security, whereas the big consideration for Salinger and his colleagues was to “get the ‘story’ out” to the media.88The Americans also insisted that they must establish their own communications system to keep the president in full and secure contact with Washington.It was essential that he could, if necessary, launch America’s nuclear forces at any time.In an era before mobile phones, this required a completely separate, state-of-the-art landline telephone network wherever the president went.Salingerclaimed that the phone system in Brasilia, the new capital of Brazil, was “originally installed by the White House Signal Agency” for Eisenhower’s visit there in 1959.Even in an advanced European capital like Paris, which Kennedy was to visit immediately before Vienna, special White House phones had to be installed.They were placed not only in the hotel rooms of all key staff but along the president’s routes through the city.There was one even at the Arc de Triomphe, near which Kennedy was to lay a wreath honoringFrance’s war dead.In Vienna the Soviets agreed that a phone could be installed temporarily in a study in their own embassy, where the second day of talks were to take place.Doubtless they were aware that this could allow Kennedy to call down missiles uponMoscow.89While Vienna was caught up in this feverish activity, the twoprincipals tried to prepare for their encounter.Kennedy found it particularly hard to focus amid other distractions.He had privately ruled out American military intervention in Laos, but the Geneva conference was going badly and the prospects for guaranteed neutrality seemed slim.At home he was preoccupied with the racial crisis in Alabama where Freedom Riders, seeking to challenge segregation on public transport, were being beaten up by white thugs.This raised larger issues about the line between federal responsibility and states’ rights
