The Trivia Hound

Cuba, April 17, 1961

Nixon's prediction last October has come true.


"It is a secret to no one that the armed bands invading this country were trained, equipped and armed in the United States of America. The planes which are bombing Cuban cities belong to the United States of America; the bombs they are dropping are being supplied by the American Government." --Communique from Khrushchev to Kennedy, urging him to quit before things got out of control.

Bay of Pigs

I spent probably an hour looking for a Hollywood movie that depicted the Bay of Pigs head-on and there just isn't one. The closest thing was Running Scared (1980) with Judge Reinhold. But there are no pictures to be found for that one.

Incidentally, Running Scared was also the title of movies made in 1972, 1985, 1986, and 2006. Popular title, I guess.
