Joseph McBride Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) On October 20, 1962, I was with my family in our station wagon in a long line of cars headed toward Milwaukee's General Mitchell Field to see President Kennedy give a campaign speech. At 11 a.m., the radio told us Kennedy had to cancel his campaign plans and leave Chicago for Washington because he had a "cold." It turned out this was what the French call a "cold diplomatique." He was summoned back because the Cuban Missile Crisis (still unannounced to the public, but the subject of rumors in the press) was reaching its head. The day before he had been accused of appeasement by General LeMay to his face. On October 22, the Monday, Kennedy gave his speech to the nation.
