here is just a really good sort of random suit, with stuff from who won the World Series to the US GDP: http://www.infoplease.com/year/1961.html
AMAZING site, even if you just look up the year http://www.answers.com
After you've done the basic research you can put stuff in context by looking up old clips, more helpful for US bloc than anyone. http://www.youtube.com
Interesting interview with Che: http://www.monthlyreview.org/961che.htm
Huge amount of primary source material: http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/
Another great site with tons of information if you look for it: http://www.fsmitha.com/ here are some specific pages I pulled out: http://www.fsmitha.com/h2/ch24t60.html http://www.fsmitha.com/h2/ch24t63.html http://www.fsmitha.com/h2/ch24t64.html
Just found this website while doing research for my history class. Haven't really looked for HSC stuff on it yet, but overall it's an amazing resource with thousands of texts scanned in. So if you're having any trouble finding some books on your character or our time period check out this site: http://www.archive.org/details/texts
Hey US bloc, I found a really good interactive website about the Crisis. I found it while we were submitting our character requests and unfortunately misplaced it when the time came for position papers. The website lists the options available to the US and displays the views of all the men of EXCOMM through actual quotes concerning the Crisis. It also cites their source, a Yale webpage that goes in even more depth. This will hopefully help some else can an additional feel for their person, especially their views specific to the Crisis itself. We’re running low on time before the actual conference so this website offers so bite-sized reminders for us all. Hope it helps. -Samantha Kibler (RFK) Link: http://teachingamericanhistory.org/neh/interactives/cubanmissilecrisis/

Here's a good website to remind everyone where we start at in 1960, its actually a pretty optimistic time.
