"Reading about the visit by Cuban president Fidel Castro to Argentina
while I was on vacation in Spain last week, I couldn't help but think
of one of the major political ironies of our time: Castro is still seen
by many as a model of courage, when in reality he is the most cowardly
ruler in Latin America.

"Castro a coward? Sure!

"Consider:

"Unlike all the other Latin American presidents, Castro hasn't had
the courage to submit himself to a free election in 47 years."

Jean Smith...
What can I say? I was a kid. I don't even remember if it was Dave Garroway or
Steve Allen's show.


Jean Smith...
They covered the celebrators on the video and BBC radio.
Then Fox had a guy on who said that Fidel should take a slug to the head, before
he said that he doesn't hate anyone. Aren't people funny?

I forget which Congress promised to enforce the claims to property. Newt's?
