Other than that, the U.S. is content to watch Cuba with high-flying U-2s and an occasional supersonic treetop dash by Air Force RF-101 or Navy RA-5C reconnaissance jets.

Though the government does not admit so publicly, its policy is now clearly aimed at creating unemployment on purpose to rid the economy of irresponsible labor disturbances, force workers to shift into...
