As a somewhat related aside, I came across a scanned copy of a journalist's short column of some comments made by JFK to a journalist during a tete a tete between the journalist and JFK years ago. The scanned column was published on another board, but it also may have been republished first in a mag, maybe Human Events? I am not sure which mag. Anyway, in the meeting, JFK talked about the Russian Embassy and how he heard that the Russians had smuggled in components for a nuke over a period of time and that they had actually constructed it in the Embassy attic.
