The recent release of detailed records showing how expertly Kennedy handled the Cuban missile crisis restored his reputation somewhat.

I may be suffering from Alzheimer's, but I remember that Kennedy brought us to the brink of war over this and left the missiles in place. Kennedy did a deal with Kruschev to save face and gave up concessions. Maybe someone else remembers for sure.
