This day in 1962 marked the beginning of the Cuban Missile Crisis.  For the next two weeks, the United States and the Soviet Union remained on the brink of nuclear war as President John F. Kennedy negotiated the removal of Soviet-made medium-range missiles, capable of carrying nuclear warheads, 90 miles off the American coastline in Cuba.
