This 40+ page newspaper has a seven column headline: "CUBANS WON'T GIVE UP RUSSIAN JET BOMBERS" with subheads. (see) Tells of the voyage back home for the Russians and their missiles at the end of the Cuban missile crisis.
Other news of the day. A few small binding holes along the spine with a small library stamp in masthead, otherwise in good condition.
wikipedia notes: The Cuban Missile Crisis was a confrontation between the United States, the Soviet Union, and Cuba in October 1962, during the Cold War. In Russia, former Eastern Bloc, and communist countries (i.e. China and North Korea), it is termed the "Caribbean Crisis", while in Cuba it is called the "October Crisis." The Cuban and Soviet governments in September 1962 placed nuclear missiles in Cuba. When United States intelligence discovered the weapons, its government decided to do all they could to ensure their removal. The crisis ranks with the Berlin Blockade as one of the major confrontations of the Cold War, and is generally regarded as the moment in which the Cold War came closest to a nuclear war.
