RE DK CURRENT POST AND MY COMMENT

The thing I remember, 5 years younger tomorrow, more than JFK's ignominious death, was nuclear so called preparedness duck and cover, early 1960s.

With the benefit of Whiggish hindsight, we would all have been much better off had we taken Cuba at the time of Jackson, when we had the chance.

Then I, and you, would not have been having to do duck and cover a hundred and fifty years later, or JFK have been blundering into a Bay of Pigs...
