Give em' hell Adlai.

According to C-Span`s The Contenders series, Stevenson was intentionally given flawed information on the missiles in Cuba.
I do love this film clip.
-
If Stevenson had shown some of this assertiveness when he was running for President, he might have made a stronger showing
-
@RichardElden Yes he would have but there would have been another crisis in the world other than Cuba that Nixon would have not had a cooler head but this is all "maybe if" questions that never happen. So it stands, the world is still here because of cooler heads and thinking about the situation then acting on it.
-
@RichardElden True but I do believe the Cold War was building up and if Nixon was in office instead of Kennedy, BYE BYE EARTH. The only thing that had to happen is someone on either side to open fire on someone to have an act of war and that act would have been, next action that is, was launch ICBM's. Those were the times that these people were living in.

@RichardElden The winner was reason and cooler heads prevailing. Not the U.S., or the U.S.S.R. or Cuba. If there was a winner Kennedy and his administration stopping a global nuclear holocaust on both sides. And the lose of Major Anderson in his U2 spy plane over Cuba was tragic for his family and country. This crisis wasn't measured in winners or losers. If we would have lost the human race along with Youtube wouldn't be here right now.

@brisco42 Yes. Stevenson was pretty much a straight shooter as well. Perfect for this confrontation.
-
I always get a kick out of watching this and the scene in Thirteen Days. Adlai and I both graduated from the same high school (U-High) and grew up in Bloomington, IL

OWNAGE!

@senorelroboto2 It's a laugh of nervousness.
