在损失惨重的猪湾事件,菲德尔·卡斯特罗(古巴领导人——译注)军队果断击败了由美国支持的持不同政见的古巴人粗心的入侵行动。在此战役中,美国承诺提供空军掩护,但并没有实现承诺,这主要是因为疏忽。军方和中情局规划者没有考虑到古巴和他们在尼加拉瓜的空军基地之间存在一个小时的时间差异。轰炸机队不仅到达目的地太早,而且还没有和海军派出的护航战斗机会合。当清晰意识到入侵行动会失败时,肯尼迪(JFK)下令终止了美国的进一步直接行动。这次行动的后果——其中还死了四位美国飞行员——极大地羞辱了肯尼迪,他被迫承担这次惨败的责任。不管怎么样,肯尼迪也从中吸取了处理国际事件的经验,有助于他后来处理古巴导弹危机。
5 Marie Antoinette’s Muddled Escape Attempt
5、玛丽王后迷糊的逃亡计划
The French Revolution would have taken a very different path had Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette managed to escape. They tried to, but that didn’t go so well, thanks to the queen’s many blunders. Originally, the king planned to secretly leave Paris alone and mobilize his allies for a counterrevolution. At the last minute, Marie Antoinette became adamant that they should travel together with the children. Instead of a small but fast vehicle, Marie Antoinette and her family traveled in a large, slow-moving carriage, complete with luxurious amenities. That, plus a few other mishaps—she got lost inside a maze for 30 minutes on the way to the rendezvous—ultimately led to the family’s downfall. Besides delaying the royal pair, the carriage’s aristocratic trappings attracted suspicion, especially from one eagle-eyed postmaster by the name of Jean-Baptiste Drouet. Some sources say Drouet recognized the king from a coin or banknote. Others say he saw an officer salute the carriage as it passed through his village. Regardless, he sped off to the next village and informed them of the king’s secret arrival. Sure enough, revolutionaries of that village stopped the carriage and accosted the royal family. The jig was up.
