In November of 1962 the FBI foiled a Cuban orchestrated plot to use 500 kilos of explosives to blow up Macy's, Gimbel's, Bloomingdale's, several subway stations, the 42nd street bus terminal, Grand Central station, several refineries along the New Jersey shore the day after Thanksgiving. What if the plot had succeeded and the three largest department stores on earth had been blown up on the busiest shopping day of the year? Will Kennedy be forced to take act by an outraged public? Will the Soviet's stand with the Cubans and plunge the world into nuclear war if the US takes military action against the Cubans? Assuming the end of the world is avoided, will people still wear Che Guevera shirts given his importance in orchestrating the attack?
