"Chanceller's Insight Into Cuba"
 
   What's your take on what he says?

From: Headline Watch
SIUC INTERIM CHANCELLOR SHARES INSIGHT INTO CUBA ...The Southern Illinoisan Sun Mar 4 13:29:29 UTC 2001

EXCERPT
"Lordes talked about organizing a counterweight to the Miami Cubans in the U.S. to help lead public opinion. She thinks Paul Simon could be crucial in that effort. She also wants to take a role in that effort, but the Miami Cubans have a lot of money and are entrenched in the American system."

   Edgar, I'm against anything that will help Castro but, we live in a free country and Mr. Lordes can say and do anything he wants, I'm not impressed. Now, the trick would be for him to try and do something similar in Havana against Castro I would like to see how far he and Paul Simon will get. NOW THAT WOULD BE IMPRESIVE!

   DavidC, Talk is cheap, I know. Doing something out of principle, like signing a document supporting democratic change and presenting it to Castro, knowing you'll likely be eating more dirt than beans for a long time to come is what takes balls!

Even my poking a stick in Castro's cyber-eye online is just another form of arm-chair quarterbacking. Nevertheless, I like to believe that if and when the moment presented itself, I'd stand up and do the right thing.

Until then, I rant. My lastest is inspired by Carter's Cuban vacation:
