...that end, if the Bush administration is serious about affecting real reforms on the island, it should highlight the imprisonment of noted Cuban dissidents the way Western activists did Nelson Mandela’s Apartheid-era jailing in South Africa. One name to start with—a name that a majority of Americans, and many Cubans, for that matter, are probably unaware of—is Francisco Chaviano Gonzalez.

The Crimson held the Bears without a goal on their four chances with the man advantage, just the fourth time this season it has held the opposing power play scoreless.
