As the 50th anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis approaches, a group of students attending the George T. Baker Aviation School are restoring a Nike Hercules missile for display at one of the original launch sites in the Everglades. The missile was salvaged from a US Army depot in Alabama. It will be on public display at HM69 Nike Missile Base, which is operated by the National Park Service.

“Kirsten: So you’re the new public relations man.
Joe: Yeah.
Kirsten: What happened to Eddie?
Joe: Eddie quit.
Kirsten: I liked him. Why’d he quit?
Joe: Well, a little matter of personal integrity. Eddie didn’t feel that getting dates for potentates was part of public relations.
Kirsten: But isn’t it?
Joe: Well, there’s a name for it but it’s not “public relations.””
—J.P. (James Pinckney)
“You gave him an opportunity to display greatness of character, and he let it slip away. For that he will never forgive you.”
