the american and soviets. castro was told that they could stay and had to be dealt another blow they the soviets would take them too. >> guest: it comes down to how president kennedy went about the business of being president. how he made the decision. there was no no rule for any particular decision for him. there was no particular docket rain he was defined to -- confined to. it wasn't a matter of deciding that one was type of weapon satisfied military security requirements or violated them or whatever. it is more looking at particular issue on the merits. and the way i think think about is contrasts. one the il28. so there is the discussion going on khrushchev we'll remove them. kennedy fry to work out what defensive mean. what is it we can't live with and can live with in cuba? the american doctrine has different idea. the soviet doctrine, we goat the details there, but there's a struggle to prove what the understanding is. the long range bombers to the americans, these had about 750 mile range. they could

union are breaking -- anti-soviet hard-liners who say that the soviet union are breaking all of their agreements. truman took this hard-line that the soviets were cheating and breaking their agreements and it took a steadily down the path toward confrontation, with roosevelt knew was not necessary. tavis: and japan, the bomb, you take this issue on and try to set the record straight. >> most americans don't realize that six of the 75-star officers would -- of the seven five-star officers said it was unnecessary. douglas macarthur, who was hardly known as a pacifist, also said that commit the united states had told the -- also said that, if the united states had told the japanese that they could keep the emperor, it would have had a separate outcome. eisenhower said that he learned that we were going to drop the bomb in the japanese and eisenhower said he got depressed. he said we don't need to do it. first of all, the japanese are defeated and ready to surrender. and i would hate to see our country to be the first to use that kind of weapon. you had animals against that kind of weapon

as the soviets were sort of playing along. they were very vulnerable to the cubans. >> guest: i think it is worth explaining why they where under this control under two different systems. he said that it required about six months of training for them to operate it. during the process and after, it was operated, as you pointed out, the standard anti-aircraft was adjusted by the cubans. so the americans consider the soviets was being trusted. >> host: we all remember the october crisis 50 years ago this month. there was also a secret soviet cuban crisis. about how fidel castro is absolutely furious. did you suspect how bitter he was? one of the intense arguments going on, it was castro's insistence for the sake of cuban sovereignty and dignity. firing on those american reconnaissance planes. would you ready to play longer bring the crisis to a resolution? >> guest: the americans did not have detailed information about what was happening on the inside. but they were very unhappy. so what you actually get is intelligence briefing

will the soviets fire back?nd kennedy, as he did throughout the crisis, is saying whenever possible, use the minimum amount of force. and he just wants to understand it. they were smart to, because their military brass were spoiling for a fight throughout the crisis. and secretary mcnamara also had a lot of problems on his hands talking with the admirals and the generals. they were trained to fight. that was their job, and they wanted to. and the secretary mcnamara and the president were also doing their job, saying hold on. what are the steps? and they're trying to understand the 20 steps that are involved in the boarding of a soviet vessel. and they were correct to, because any errant shot might have led to the firing of a nuclear weapon back from the soviet vessel towards the united states. and we now know much more than we did at the time, and many of the submarines were carrying nuclear weapons, the torpedoes. there were a large number of tactical nuclear weapons already available to units of soviet army pe

the following year they went to the soviet union and poland.in moscow, transcendent and from the crew chef in the debate during which the two leaders argued that communism and capitalism in an exhibition of american consumer goods. once again her own agenda visiting orphanages and hospitals. he might've gotten more headlines for pats interaction the soviet women and children also made a lasting impression. there were all kinds of pictures of her handing out candy and a book onto the soviet children that made it into the magazine. perhaps more importantly, her pointed question to nikita khrushchev about his wife's absence from the festivities led to mrs. khrushchev as well as other soviet officials said lee. at the event during the rest of the visit. he told one reporter that it hoped to have a woman along on a diplomatic mission. they can make friends in different ways than men. he was overwhelmed by the outpouring of cheers that greeted the nixon's as they travel to the streets of portland. patti was not easily rattled had to fight back tears

and you took us through some of the history of the soviet jews, former soviet union, all the way through to some of the situations that come up actually more recently on the san francisco ballot, the issue around circumcision, which is quite a controversial topic. i'm wondering if you can talk a little bit about the groundwork that you do, because i know and so many of us know that the jcrc engages in such a deep level of interpersonal relationship way beyond the jewish community itself and that actually is part of its success. i wonder if you can comment on some of the communal dynamics you see in the community on that level. >> it's a great question. i think the groundwork exists both within and beyond the jewish community. within the community, jcrc represents about 70 institutions, from left to right, reform, conservative, orthodox, involved with israel, involved with the broader issues, to social justice issues, the community, kind of the full spectrum. so one of the things that i think is important is that bringing together these diverse voices, we can test the various perspectives

the following it with the soviet union and poland.in moscow, confronted her shots in the debate in which the two leaders at the communism and capitalism and addition of the american consumer day. once again have their own agenda. he might've gotten more headlines from a passenger actually said that women and children all made a lasting impression. there are kinds of pictures handing out candy that made it into a magazine. more importantly her pointed questions to kirchoff about his absence went to mrs. kirchoff as well as other soviet officials at the event during this visit. he told one reporter to have a woman on the diplomatic mission. he can make friends in different ways than men. overwhelmed by the outpouring and cheers that greeted nixon's visit travel to the streets of poland. pat was not easily rattled how to fight back tears according to one news account of their arrival in poland. the first lady on this tenure satyr and her recognition of the important role on the increase. the winterset traveler became much more aware of t
