President Kennedy's Florida nuke bunker could be shuttered

Built in 10 days by Navy Seabees, the Spartan, 1,600-square-foot bunker — the size of a small U.S. home — could have been the nerve center for U.S. and NATO forces if Soviet nuclear weapons had incinerated Washington and New York. While it wouldn't have survived a direct or nearby hit, it would have provided protection from fallout blown in from elsewhere.
