NIXON, RICHARD. Typed Letter Signed, "Dick," to Admiral Lewis Strauss, concerning the nuclear test ban treaty, the Cold War and Khrushchev. 1 page, single tall 8vo sheet, personal stationery; ink notation in left margin high-lighting a paragraph.

I think we are now entering the most dangerous phase of the cold war since 1945. As Adenauer told me, Khrushchev is always much more dangerous when he is smiling than whenhe is frowning . . ."
