The Cuban missile crisis brings America and Russia to the brink of war; Jackie leaves JFK after one infidelity too many.

“The lasting legacy of Jack and Bobby Kennedy was to resolve political crisis with the least amount of bloodshed possible…We never went to war with the Soviet Union. Had that crisis not been handled the way it was, we wouldn’t be here. This planet would be dead. Everything else pales to insignificance compared to that.”

- Writer Stephen Kronish
