When the World's Fate Hung on One Man's Calm
October 1962. Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba. Kennedy's generals unanimously demanded immediate strikes-strikes that would likely kill seventy million people in the opening salvos alone and potentially trigger civilization-ending escalation. The young president had every reason to act fast: political pressure, military urgency, national honor. Yet Kennedy did something radical. He slowed down. Having just read about how World War I's leaders rushed into catastrophe through pride and hasty decisions, he insisted everyone pause and think deeply. He swam daily, maintained family dinners, and filled his notes with meditations and hand-drawn sailboats to calm his racing mind. His first question revealed everything: "Why did the Russians do this?" Rather than reacting to the surface provocation, Kennedy dove into understanding Khrushchev's perspective, recognizing the Soviet leader was likely responding to American missiles in Turkey. By creating space between stimulus and response-by finding stillness amid crisis-Kennedy likely saved millions of lives. This capacity to remain calm when chaos demands reaction isn't just admirable; it's the difference between wisdom and disaster.
