ON THIS DAY: In 1962, President John F. Kennedy appeared on national television to announce to the American people and the world that the Soviet Union had positioned nuclear missiles in Cuba, and to demand that the Soviets remove the missiles immediately. The crisis is recreated in near documentary style in last year's THIRTEEN DAYS, starring Bruce Greenwood as JFK. [today's movie at IMDb]
