The CIA, however, continues it's

secret war on Castro with dozens of

sabotage and assassination attempts

under it's ZR/RIFLE and MONGOOSE

programs - The Agency collaborates

with organized crime elements such

as John Roselli, Sam Giancana, and

Santos Trafficante of Tampa, whose

casino operations in Cuba, worth

more than a hundred million dollars

a year in income, Castro has shut

down.

CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS

Khrushchev, Kennedy, Castro on television, meetings with

Cabinet, Russian vessels in Caribbean, U.S. nuclear bases on

alert, civilians going to underground safe areas... the

Russian ship turning around, the country smiling...

VOICE 5

In October 1962, the world comes to

the brink of nuclear war when Kennedy

quarantines Cuba after announcing

the presence of offensive Soviet

nuclear missiles 90 miles off American

shores. The Joint Chiefs of Staff

and the CIA call for an invasion.

Kennedy refuses. Soviet ships with

more missiles sail towards the island,

but at the last moment turn back.

The world breathes with relief but

backstage in Washington, rumors abound

that J.F.K. has cut a secret deal

with Russian Premier Khrushchev not

to invade Cuba in return for a Russian

withdrawal of missiles. Suspicions

abound that Kennedy is "soft on

Communism."
