And as the public service announcements and racist propaganda bloomed onto the screens in every classroom, Mark’s only observation was that the United States still had such a long way to go. When times were dire, they resorted to using inaccurate stereotypes and ignorance as a weapon, with an impressionable society always willing to believe without further question.","author":"Rebecca McNutt","tags":["anti-racism","army","bigitry","box","classroom","education","ignorance","military","nuclear","nuclear-war","propaganda","public-service-announcement","racism","radiation","radioactive","school","screen","sheeple","society","stereotype","storage-box","united-states","war","weapon"],"id":239997,"author_id":"Rebecca+McNutt"},{"text":"The missile crisis 'was the most dangerous moment in human history,' Arthur Schlesinger commented in October 2002 at a conference in Havana on the fortieth anniversary of the crisis, attended by a number of those who witnessed it from within as it unfolded. Desision-makers at the time undoubtedly understood that the fate of the world was in their hands. Nevertheless, attendees at the conference may have been shocked by some of the revelations. They were informed that in October 1962 the world was 'one word away' from nuclear war. 'A guy named Arkhipov saved the world,' said Thomas Blanton of the National Security Archive in Washington, which helped organize the event. He was referring to Vasil Arkhipov, a Soviet submarine officer blocked an order to fire nuclear-armed toredoes in October 27, at the tensest moment of the crisis, when te submarines were under attack bu US destroyers, A devastating response would have been a near certainty, leading a major war.
