- Released in 1964 by the Department of Defense and the Office of Civil Defense, ONE WEEK IN OCTOBER tells the gripping story of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. The events of that week are vividly re-created through original American reconnaissance plane footage and extensive tension-packed scenes of the faces and voices of the key figures involved: President John F. Kennedy, Robert McNamara, Dean Rusk and Adlai Stevenson. Yet "One Week in October" had a message to promote, beyond merely re-telling the events of that fateful week - promoting fallout shelters and the National Fallout Shelter System. The film's postscript (28:30) is all about "shelter space" and how "fallout protection" would be vital "to our national survival", and that while progress has been made in this area "more work must be done".

Yes, I remember that fateful week in October. In fact, I remember very well the two years I spent in south Florida part of a U.S. Army nuclear missile defense force. I was young and thought it a great adventure, but now as an old man this experience brings tears to my eyes knowing how close to annihilating mankind we came and that I would have been a party to that awful act. It affects me deeply and while I do not wish the same experience on anyone else I wish more people could know that we truly were very near the end and that the same capability exists today. It scares me even these many years later and I have to say at times I'm not proud of having been a part of it.
I was 7 yrs. old in 67 and I remember to this day how my parents were in fear watching these news casts.
The bombs of the '60's were 4x as powerful as today. CEP (Circular Error Probability) was so bad, the warheads had to be huge.
more like the cuban missile crisis October 1963-december 1964
Conventional wisdom has taught us for the past 60 years that JFK’s the biggest hero, he’s still a god. The Cuban missile crisis, doesn’t matter what it is. If it’s JFK, he’s brilliant, he’s the best, he’s great, it’s Camelot. Howerver, 1982, Mary Beth Norton and several others took a very different approach in a college textbook widely used today in Advanced Placement courses. They said Kennedy ‘pursued civil rights with a notable lack of vigor.’ They blamed him for the missile crisis, saying Cuban-Soviet fears of invasion were stoked by the 1961 Bay of Pigs landing and other United States moves against Cuba. They said Kennedy’s real legacy was ‘a huge military expansion that helped goad the Russians into an accelerated arms race.'”
So in advanced placement courses in America universities from 1985 on, Kennedy is blamed for the missile crisis; Kennedy is blamed for the Soviet arms buildup because of his numerous efforts, starting with the Bay of Pigs, to invade Cuba.
Rush Limbaugh
Rush Limbaugh was a dope addict, tax cheet and prolific liar. Anyone who thinks otherwise should try to remove their head from DJT's anus; something that Ron DeSantis is not capable of doing.
Duuhhh....

That historian has an interesting perspective. It's not a perspective I agree with, but I wouldn't silence it, either. Who knows, maybe she's very persuasive. I'm sure those arguments are more fully developed in the book than they are in Rush's brief summary.
Kennedy removed missiles from Turkey.
