“Their intuitive capacity to communicate often transcended the limits of conventional oral discourse. They always understood each other.”
Sheldon Stern, The Cuban Missile Crisis in American Memory: Myths versus Reality

“Khrushchev shit his pants.”
Sheldon Stern, The Cuban Missile Crisis in American Memory: Myths versus Reality

“Studying history, of course, is not like assembling a neatly cut jigsaw puzzle. Pieces of historical evidence do not have to fit together tidily or logically within fixed and predetermined borders. Indeed, despite the best efforts of historians, they do not have to fit together at all. History defines its own parameters, and real historical figures often defy our assumptions and expectations. Contradictions and inconsistencies are the rule rather than the exception in human affairs. History is not a play. There is no script.”
Sheldon M. Stern, The Cuban Missile Crisis in American Memory: Myths versus Reality
