Hear, hear. Bring back the Habsburgs, the Romanovs, and the Hohenzollerns.

But over-marinated or not, Nixon made a point more than once of reviewing the conversations he had with his advisors about whether to begin a gradual response, or jump to highest alert. He offers that he decided the latter, in part and in the greatest measure, so as to let the Soviets know they were not welcome to intervene. In the end, the Soviets chose not to mess with this Quaker.
