One might well ask, "What is a Cold War?"This answer is simple enough, a war that has not grown hot.In a more involved sense, the Cold War was one in which two angry superpowers worked tirelessly to prevent their political differences from escalating into a global thermonuclear Armageddon and thus destroying all of humanity.My first recollection of the Cold War came right about the time that we plugged in our first black and white television receiver; something considered a technological marvel in those restless years of the late 1950's.On the screen was a new program, "The CBS News With Douglas Edwards." The breaking news was the annual May Day Parade in Moscow's Red Square. In what was obviously a military and propaganda extravaganza, hundreds of Soviet nuclear missiles on mobile launchers were circling around the gigantic plaza in a show of Soviet might.I found the entire circus frightening and turned to my Daddy, a World War II veteran, who had fought in Japanese in the Pacific. "Are we at war?" I demanded."Don't worry about it, boy." He answered. "We defeated the Germans, and we defeated the Japanese. If we have to, we'll defeat the Russians."Those hardly proved comforting words. As I grew in political knowledge, I soon learned that this "Cold War" would be with we Americans for a dreadfully long time.
