The present crisis (History will absolve me)

n.p., 1962. [24p.], staplebound pamphlet. The cover bears a portrait of Kennedy morphing into Mad Magazine's Alfred E. Newman. Several pages of text have a blue pen X across them, as if to express opposition to their content. Seven pages of original but anonymous text, written in the context of the showdown over Soviet missiles in Cuba - between which is sandwiched a copy of Castro's famous speech. Much of the original text taunts the reader as a brainwashed oaf for believing Washington's positions. (Inventory #: 249212)
