How Is the Cuban Missile Crisis Taught?

RUSH: I'm seven or eight years old.  I remember this like it was yesterday.  I remember watching Castro on TV, and I can remember the news had Douglas Edwards at CBS News, and Walter Cronkite. I remember them hoping and praying Castro would choose us, even back then. Hoping and praying.  They were all convinced that he wasn't, but Castro left it open. It was a possibility he was gonna choose to align with us, and then when he aligned with the Soviet Union, oh, it was a letdown.
