Some celebrities in the West have gone a step further, elevating Castro to an almost mythical status. In recent years, a parade of American movie stars has visited the island gulag to mug with its Communist bully. Danny Glover, Kevin Costner, Robert Redford, Leonardo DiCaprio and Steven Spielberg have all made pilgrimages southward to express their groupie-like adoration for Castro. Costner said watching the premiere of his film “Thirteen Days” with the despot was “the experience of a lifetime,” while Spielberg called his November 2002 dinner with Castro...
...defend. The past, after all, is the past. Still, South Korea’s brand of anti-Americanism is beyond the pale. In a Gallup poll taken in December, more South Koreans expressed a positive view of North Korea, a country that sends children to its version of a gulag, than of the United States. The reason is that young South Koreans overwhelmingly blame President Bush for North Korea’s belligerence.

Adventurous (or masochistic) tourists can sleep in uncomfortable cells, walk behind barbed wire and eat disgusting prison food. Please pass the salt mines...
...students talk, one would conclude that a Harvard education depends wholly on incompetent teaching fellows who missed the memo on learning English, a miserable Core Curriculum comprised of useless huge classes that no one wants to take and a social life that is about as much fun as the gulag. If we all think Princeton focuses more on undergraduate education, Yale has more fun and Columbia has a better city, than why are we all here...
...Tracy's hairdo, now growing like a monster fungus in an AIP horror movie, has landed her and Penny in Special Ed., the high school gulag for misfits of all races, bad attitudes and personal liabilities. (Tracy: "Whaddaya do in Special Ed.?" Nerds: "We do musicals!") The class also imprisons some of the black kids, including Seaweed J. Stubbs (Corey Reynolds), for whom Penny develops an immediate and unquenchable letch. From nine to three, Tracy tries to wriggle from the confines of Special Ed.; then she's off to Corky's, to dance her plus-size girdle...
