JFK and Kruschev were incomparably more intelligent and better advised than Trump and Putin, yet they went right to the brink in 1962.

My favorite JFK quote (and please disabuse me if once again my memory fails me) came when, with Congressional leaders of both parties (!!) in the Situation Room, at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK turned to Barry Goldwater and said: “So you want this fucking job?”
