A World in Crisis, the United States with Leadership, Power & Restraint (October 22, 1962)

A president spoke, military might converged, politicians worked "across the aisle."  A nation forgot for a moment to distinguish black from white, democrat from republican, liberal from conservative; for in some crisis, foxholes and tombstones are not so marked, and consequences are equally shared.  The Cuban Missile Crisis: October, 1962 . . . 

- President John F. Kennedy's address to the nation-

- Allied Forces on the move in Berlin -

- 280mm "Atomic Cannon" preparing in West Germany -

- Me hoping I never have to pull the trigger -

- Members of my squad waiting for orders in West Germany -
