...bourgeois indulgence, the sport was banned when the country was established in 1948. So why is a baseball stadium being built as a "gift" to President KIM IL SUNG for his 80th birthday next April? Apparently Kim changed his mind when he found out that fellow die-hard Marxist Fidel Castro and just about everybody else in Cuba is crazy about the game...
...worldly success, Greene retained the attitudes dictated by his childhood: a dislike for the strong -- hence his increasing postwar opposition to the U.S. -- and a sympathy for the underdog, a category that came to include everyone from Fidel Castro to Kim Philby, a onetime friend and also a British intelligence officer who famously spied for and then defected to the Soviet Union. The last 30 or so years of his life were spent in a modest & apartment in an undistinguished building in Antibes, on the French Mediterranean.

...wake of massive election cheating in 1986, Corazon Aquino would not have become President. Had rebel factions of the army succeeded in the coup attempts that followed, Aquino would not still be in office today.

The U.S. suspects that the dictator plans to repeat the 1980 Mariel boatlift, in which he exported malcontents and hardened criminals to southern Florida. "We've been on the blacklist because...
Remember those predictions that Fidel Castro's regime was on the verge of collapse? White House experts have ruefully concluded that after 32 years in control, the old dictator still has staying power. While publicly vowing to maintain Marxist purity, Castro has allowed a number of perestroika-style reforms in the Cuban economy. Among them: linking farm-worker pay to the amount workers produce. The island has signed a $350 million trade deal with Mexico and may reap secondhand benefits when that country completes a long- debated free-trade agreement with...
