168. The enclosed paper is a partial answer to the
question 'What does Christopher Robin do in the
mornings?'... You will perhaps recognize the
mixture of technical wisdom and political
innocence with which we came to San Diego in
1958, as similar to the Los Alamos of 1943.
You had to learn political wisdom by success,
and we by failure. Often I do not know whether
to be glad or sorry that we escaped the
responsibilities of succeeding.

186. It was such a crazy idea, really.
One of those wonderful dreams...
Oh, but they had a good time in
California, and we went and visited
them once and saw one little puff!
The little thing went off and then
came back with a parachute, at Point
Loma... They had fun, but did they
really think that it would go?
