...meets the swelling breast of its bay. The Malecon is Cuba's promenade, its boardwalk, its Champs Elysees. Across the Straits of Florida in Miami, kingdom of dollars, citadel of wealth unimaginable, the exiles have a favorite T shirt: it portrays the Malecon after Castro's fall as an endless vista of shiny, neon-lighted fast-food joints. The crumbling, once graceful seafront is still a long way from that plastic vision. Potuombo gestures at the crowd in his cafe, who are placidly consuming not Whoppers or Big Macs but the tepid brown soda that is the sole item...
...Selsdon is the old dog who keeps a step ahead of the company, despite his intermittent deafness and propensity for napping. Ian Lithgow as Selsdon is yet another solid cast member as the troupe's elderly bane and balm. His Selsdon is undeniably aged, while carrying the confidence of endless theatrical experience on his stooped shoulders...

But when testimony and events uncovered by Senate investigators are assembled into a running narrative, the story paints a complex but disturbing portrait of a White House gripped by a culture of deception. TIME has reconstructed events of the key month...
...taped broadcast by Aristide promising a future of reconciliation and economic and social reform if he returns. But Aristide in June cried that "never, never and never again" would he agree to be restored to power by a U.S. invasion -- a stance that would give Clinton endless trouble in justifying military action of that kind. Though Aristide last week called for "swift and definitive action," he indicated in an interview with TIME and two other publications that invasion was still not what he had in mind. He mentioned correctly that U.S. pressure had helped dislodge previous Haitian strongmen, such...
