They refused, and riot squads began lobbing tear gas and smoke bombs near-some say into-the church. In panic and anger, the crowd spilled out of windows and doors.

His time is consumed by a visiting dignitary from East Germany. If Rubbo were less tactfill and intelligent, Waiting for Fidel might just be the movie equivalent of the journalist's last refuge, the trusty How-I-Didn...
...Nixon was doing the U.S. a favor. Americans are forgiving and forgetful. Watergate has not faded, but it is hard to maintain a high pitch of anger.
