Cuban Missile times too? Interesting. I have known of people who became Christian due to fears of impending disaster or in the middle of one. (A friend of mine was teeter tottering between belief and unbelief until the 1994 Earthquake in Northridge, CA)

Yes, when the Cuban thing happened, many people of all denominations went to their respective churches and synagogues to pray. My mother had us saying a 54-day rosary novena.

So, Kennedy alone was not responsible for the result.
