	'Fog' lets McNamara tell his side of the Vietnam War
		The talk covers McNamara's childhood, his World War II years as a bomber pilot, his rise to the presidency of the Ford Motor Co., his appointment to the Kennedy team, and his experience in the Cuban missile crisis and Vietnam (but nothing, curiously, about his 14 years with the World Bank).
		The two most chilling moments are his casual justification for Gen. Curtis LeMay's fire bombing of Japan (killing hundreds of thousands of civilians) and an eerie tape of a Cabinet meeting during the Cuban crisis, when the world was truly on the brink of nuclear war.
		To the Vietnam generation, Robert S. McNamara -- secretary of defense to both Kennedy and Johnson -- has long seemed a top heavy of that conflict: a smug, arrogant statistician who disastrously tried to apply business principles to Southeast Asian geopolitics.

	Thirteen Days :: Hollywood.com
		Thirteen Days offers a compelling look at the Cuban Missile Crisis and deftly portrays the personalities of people involved.
		The true story focuses on how President Kennedy, his brother Bobby, and the U.S. government responded to the discovery of offensive nuclear weapons in Cuba--and the life-or-death tug-of-war that ensued between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. during those thirteen days of crisis in October 1962.

		Kennedy, untested and lightly regarded as a young president, was a brilliant politician who eventually did quite well in those situations -- the Berlin Crisis of 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 -- because he was able to understand the thinking and motives of another politician.
		Despite talk of another "long twilight struggle" -- Kennedy's words -- what is happening now is far less predictable than the events of 1961 and 1962.
		At its most dangerous that struggle involved confrontations between politicians and soldiers, with diplomats occasionally serving as go-betweens.

	NOW: Fishy Friendship, Sep 12 - 18, 2002
		We settle onto a red chesterfield, part of the 60s decor -- the show is set in a small seaside cannery town during the Cuban missile crisis -- and I feel a touch of the neurosis that affects the characters in Panych's scripts.
		Vigil, a two-hander, was renamed Auntie And Me when it recently played -- and became a hit -- at the Edinburgh Festival, and there's talk of a transfer to London's West End.
		Which brings Panych back to Girl In The Goldfish Bowl, whose central character, a precocious soon-to-be-11-year-old named Iris, loses confidence in her breaking-up parents and the world situation when her pet goldfish dies.

	The Movie Chicks - Review - The Fog Of War
		He candidly talks about his role during the Cuban missile crisis and the war in Vietnam.
		He not only talks about the mistakes that he's made, but how it's possible for anyone to make mistakes, especially during wartime when there is so much happening that it's impossible for any one person to grasp the big picture while viewing events through "the fog of war".
		The way he talks about war is quite different from what you would expect from a Secretary of Defense, but every point he brings up make you stop and think - especially his discussion on war crimes and how it relates to WWII.

	Reel.com: Steven Culp
		Set during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, the film manages to raise a surprising amount of suspense, in no small part due to the performances of the three principals playing men caught up in a decisive moment in history.
		In San Francisco recently to promote Thirteen Days, the personable Culp sat down to talk to Reel about making the film and the hard work that went into preparing to play a historical figure.
		Steven Culp has had a successful career on the stage, starring on Broadway opposite Annette Bening and winning awards for such work as his role in Tony Kushner's acclaimed Angels in America.

		Anatoli I. Gribkov and William Y. Smith, Operation ANADYR: U.S. and Soviet Generals Recount the Cuban Missile Crisis (Chicago: Edition q, 1994).
		With regard to terrorist and rogue state adversaries, public talk of preemption may encourage them to redouble efforts to hide, disperse, or quickly use WMD capabilities that they anticipate may be the targets of preemptive action.
		Indeed, there may be a tradeoff between the operational pluses of surprise versus the political downsides of not having built the case and influenced public opinion before preemptive action (keeping in mind the distinction between tactical and strategic surprise).
