The American Air Force general Curtis LeMay believed that the only sure nuclear defense was to launch a preëmptive first strike. During the Cuban missile crisis, which began on this day in 1962, he almost did it. https://t.co/1jTyhqwesg — PolitiTweet.org

In Kate Atkinson’s new novel, she hints at the idea that undergirds all of her historical fiction: no matter how closely we examine or imagine the past, the idea that we might fully understand it is always an illusion. https://t.co/N7hfTIm19W — PolitiTweet.org

Although Angela Lansbury (1925-2022) appealed to practically everyone, she had a special grasp on the old and the young. Her tenure on “Murder, She Wrote” made a demographic that is usually invisible in mass culture—older women—visible. https://t.co/QqMdZfgLqF — PolitiTweet.org

The music historian Richard Taruskin, who died in July, was staggeringly knowledgeable about his chosen field. What made him a singular phenomenon, @alexrossmusic writes, was not what he wrote but how he wrote it. https://t.co/gCuWt96YNz — PolitiTweet.org
