...friend Albert Memo, a retired electronics technician, remains content to entrust the future to Fidel. "We have a government we like," he says. Cubans know capitalism, "and we don't want it." But if Castro says Cubans have to do things differently, Memo will go along. He leans back and reminisces: "I am exactly the same age as Fidel, 67. When you meet him, he is so impressive. When he talks, you really trust him, you would follow whatever he decides to do. I love him. Everyone loves...
...battle to be waged in the next days and weeks could decide the fate of Russia for decades. Yeltsin is asking an exhausted, impoverished people to entrust their future as a democratic, free-market country to him and to depose the neocommunist forces who cling to the politics and economics of the past.

Puttbutt's progression sheds light on issues of inconsistency which confront Blacks in positions of nominal authority as he begins to realize the destructiveness of alighning himself with any of Jack London's nationalist camps...
...relationship became the first item of debate. Washington has consistently refused to entrust its soldiers to U.N. command, but this time Bush conceded a supervisory role to both Boutros-Ghali and the Security Council, not least because the President expects the U.N. to pick up where he leaves off. The Bush Administration would not have undertaken any deployment of its forces without firm assurances that blue helmets would replace the Americans in short order...
