News for this day in 1962 was all about the Cuban Missile Crisis that had entered its 7th day, and every news organization was hanging on any shred of information or update it could grab on to.
With its continuing news coverage of the Crisis, NBC Radio presented a Special Report on the goings on during this 7th Day of the crisis.

I was 7 years old and living in Daly City, Ca. My father brought the TV into our kitchen from the front room, so we could watch this address while we ate. Afterward, I ask him what was happening. He replied, “The Russians have missiles pointed at our house”. Didn’t phase me one bit. And I think the next time the TV was set up in the kitchen was the next November, when JFK was foully murdered.
