And in 45 years...how much has changed? Russia is still pissed about what we're doing "next door" (this time with missile defense), and they're bolstering countries the US is, to put it mildly, not getting along with (Iran).
Let's hope we never get as close to nuclear war again as we did in October of 1962!
