We often take Christmas carols at face value. But at least one holiday favorite, “Do You Hear What I Hear,” contains more than what first meets the ear.

Whatever Happened to the Cuban Missile Crisis?
by Stephen Schlesinger

Over the last few months, there has been a lot of loose talk from President Joseph Biden and others comparing the Ukrainian crisis with the 1962 Cuban missile crisis.

In 1962, I was 4 years old, I was in the living room playing with my dad, and the tv was on. All of a sudden I saw warships on tv and I asked my dad what it was, the only answer He gave me was there might be a war and I started to play again as if it didn’t bother me. When I was about 12 years old I understood what was going on in 1962. Canada played a important part during that time by chasing Russian submarines.

I just realised it is the 59th anniversary of the shooting of President J.F.K. This was an absolutely terrible crime. The killer (s) were never caught. J.F.K found a solution to the Cuban blockade incident of 1962, and thankfully saved the world. I guess the good news is we didn’t get Nixon for almost 10 years. Imagine how he would have handled the Cuban Missile Crisis

These days mark the 60th anniversary of the of 1962.
And unfortunately I have to say that the world was further along in terms of constructive conflict resolution then than it is today.
We are currently heading for a similar crisis with the and participation by - but currently without any prospect of a compromise.
