WORLD SYNDICATION RIGHTS....For $750,000 you can own a piece of the crisis that nearly ended the world -- the map of Cuba that John F. Kennedy used just before meeting with national security advisers at the beginning of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The ultimate JFK relic, originally acquired from the noted Kennedy collector Robert White, who was given it by Evelyn Lincoln, JFK's secretary. This is one of the most important Kennedy manuscripts held in private hands. On the morning of October 16,1962, Kennedy was informed of the discovery of missile sites on Cuba the previous day and was given this map, prepared by the CIA. Kennedy marked (with Xs) the locations of the just discovered Russian missile sites. The map is being offered on the web site of manuscript dealer Gary Zimet. (Picture shows the sertificate of authenticity). ....December 20, 2001. Please byline New York Photo Press...ONE-TIME REPRODUCTION RIGHTS..HI RES SCAN AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST
