Did I miss the Cuban Missile Crisis, or did our heroes not discuss it?

The obsession that American Catholics (particularly Irish Catholic Democrats) had with the Kennedys is quite a phenomenon. My mom comes from a large Catholic and part Irish family. She was born in 1963, before the assassination, and would’ve been named John if she was a boy. That honor went to my uncle John (middle name Fitzgerald) the following year. My mom also jokes sometimes that she “knew Jackie Kennedy” growing up because there was a Kennedy family in their town who of course named their daughter Jacqueline.
