Had a call that a Soviet Nuc. Sub. is on fire several hundred miles No. of Bermuda. Russian ships are on hand—no danger of nuclear accident. Message was from Gorbachev. Seems Chernobyl had an effect.
Did a 10 min. radio broadcast on a rainy day that wiped out our ride. Spent day on homework & reading.
Sun. was a clearing day. We came down early because of Horowitz concert in the East room. About 200 hand picked guests. It was wonderful and everyone enjoyed it greatly.
