Last year a relaxation of the U.S. trade embargo allowed Cuba to buy U.S. food products--a privilege it began exercising in November when it purchased 30,000 tons of corn from Archer Daniels Midland. Since then Fidel Castro's government has spent $90 million in scarce hard currency on staples like rice, wheat and chicken. Now Castro and his buyers would like to sample brand-name products. This fall more than 150 American companies such as specialty pastamaker Bushel 42 and Spam producer Hormel will travel to Havana to show off Napa Valley wines, soy burgers, candy bars...
...inclined to start cooperating with snooping authors - not even one like Michael Crick, who has been a fanatical supporter of "the Reds" for 30 years.

One of Garrett’s new tunes, as yet untitled, started with a longing, mysterious texture and then built in intensity as layers of complexity mounted. Then Garrett took his solo and turned the piece into a chaotic, screaming mess that had absolutely nothing...
Garrett hit closer to the mark when he put down his alto and picked up a soprano sax, as he did on “Asian Medley,” a three song compilation of Japanese and Korean folk tunes. Dave and Archer left the stage, leaving Brown’s lush piano to fill in the soundscape behind Garrett’s warm tone. Each song of the medley was elegant in its simplicity and beautiful in its construction. Moreover, Garrett infused his interpretation with pathos so breathtaking it was hard to reconcile his performace with the concert?...
