trouble awaited the senator at the university.
Kennedy ignored the warning.
The senator arranged, however, hours before a
scheduled confrontation at the university, to meet
privately with about a dozen key young Commu-
nists in a suite at his hotel. Separated by a wooden
table, Kennedy and the radicals sized each other
up during an exchange similar to those Kennedy
had used to advantage in dealing with Southern
segregationists during civil-rights crises. The goal,
then and now, was to fashion a "scenario" in
which nobody would get hurt. For two hours Ken-
nedy reasoned with his Communist adversaries,
trying to get them to admit there was another side
to the issues they had raised about U.S. policy.
'.,'Why do I give a damn?" he said. "Why do I sit
here and listen to you? There are a lot more pleas-
ant things to. do in Concepci6n. But I'm here be-
cause I'm interested in the revolution in Chile.

States. I know that. Yet Chile gets more assist-
