John F. Kennedy's familiar Massachusetts drawl opens the sixth season of Anthony Bourdain's award-winning travelogue Parts Unknown — perhaps not surprisingly, given that the show's premiere episode takes place in Cuba. "The missile crisis," Bourdain intones of the Cuba of his youth. "Duck and cover. Hide under your desks, kids. Cover yourselves with wet newspaper, 'cause we're all gonna die." But President Obama's late-2014 announcement "normalizing" relations between the U.S. and Cuba frames Bourdain's entire visit, as the CNN host/flaneur ruminates on the changes that might soon come to the island nation, where American dollars will inevitably start flooding into the country.
