Beats me… I have no idea if and when the Comandante “estira la pata” as José Guardia, PJM’s Europe editor, just told me in IM (I like to learn new idioms). Sooner or later he will, as will the rest of us.
The interesting question then is whither Cuba? I visited Havana back in 1979 when I was invited to such places for my then political correctness. The proximate cause was the first festival of the New Latin American Cinema, to which I was a delegate. I have a lot of stories, which at some point I will write down, but my memories of “The Lost City” are strong – all the faded mansions and the DeSotos running on fumes. It was once a beautiful place. Maybe it will be again.
And, by the way, another memory: when I was 13, 14 years old…something like that… I saw Castro speak in Central Park. He was a great hero then. I can still recall the Dominicans screaming for him to foment a revolution in their country. Good thing he didn’t.
APROPOS CUBA: Did this really happen? I have heard US presidential candidates make gaffes before, but this….? [Evidently Edwards doesn’t go to a lot of Michael Moore movies.-ed. Evidently.]
