Under Khrushchev's letter, Ted Sorensen's name is misspelt.
I think it's a pity there's no mention of Adlai Stevenson's role. His confrontation of the Russians in the UN was crucial to the handling of the blockade.
Also, it's a bit of a pity that people's roles are only explained in a footnote (where, BTW, Maxwell Taylor's entry is the opposite way round to everyone else's).

I've fixed the typo - thanks for that. As for the other stuff, Edited Guide entries are not meant to be definitive or exhaustive. That's one of the great things about these threads that hang off them; they act as a source of extra info that nourishes the original.
Any stuff you know that's missing from the entry, please write about it here!
All the best.
