Launching Life: Pregnancy During the Cuban Missile Crisis

            The Cuban Missile Crisis launched fear that struck the minds of people, both Cuban and American.  Being responsible for bringing new life into the world, during this time, was one of the scariest positions to be in.  Georgina Pallerols found herself in that exact position while living in Cuba in 1962.  Rita Kalish was in the same position, but in the United States.  A dramatic thirteen days led to years of friendship for the children of Georgina and Rita.  Janet Kalish and Alicia Rodriguez met in college, realized that what they had in common was unique, and have been close friends ever since.
