Nikita Khrushchev Gets Tied Up in Knots Metaphor

From the Cuban Missile Crisis exhibit at the JFK Museum in Boston.


Most of the visitors present while JoAnna and I toured the exhibits would likely have been married and raising children by the time John F. Kennedy was elected President in November 1960.  A group of 70-somethings particularly enjoyed reminiscing in front of an exhibit of 1960-era appliances and "electronics", most of the latter being a collection of clock radios.  One of them looked very much like the model I purchased in 1962 with my paper-route earnings.
