The judgment of the untested leader is all that stands between us and WWIII. As Soviet nuclear missiles move ever before closer to Cuba, Chief executive John F. Kennedy must chart a course between conflicting counsel and unequalled emotional stakes to prevent nuclear annihilation. The newly minted US leader is put to the best test in this riveting original percentage from playwright David Rambo (Empire, CSI). Includes a panel dialogue about the Cuban Missile Crisis with playwright David Rambo; Bob Stern, days gone by leader of the LA-based Focus on Governmental Studies; Richard Anderson, a professor of political research at UCLA and former CIA analyst; and Geoff Cowan, a university professor at USC.
