Tuesday morning, October 16, 1962
The President knew he would have to act
A majority opinion for a blockade
It was now up to one single man
The important meeting of the OAS
I met with Dobrynin
The danger was anything but over
There were almost daily communications with Khrushchev
Expect very heavy casualties in an invasion
This would mean war
Those hours in the cabinet room
The President ordered the ex comm
Some of the things we learned
The importance of placing ourselves in the other country's shoes.
