When New York Times publisher Orvil Dryfoos is on the phone with JFK, who has asked him not to publish a story about the missiles until he can address the nation, Dryfoos replies that the paper had done that with its Bay of Pigs story and later regretted it. This is a widely believed myth. In fact, the Times did publish a front-page story about preparations to invade Cuba two weeks before it occurred. But it withheld any mention of CIA involvement and the fact that the invasion was imminent.
