A sixth-generation Texan and a highly visible Hispanic American, Cavazos seemed tailor-made to help Republican presidential nominee George Bush woo the Hispanic vote...
In addition, Luis Lauredo, another opponent of normalized U.S. relations with Cuba who is co-chair of the National Hispanic Democrats, cancelled one week ago without providing the replacement he promised in case he could not attend the event, Bueno said.

THERE have been many attempts in recent years to draw together members of different minority groups. In 1984 the Rev. Jesse Jackson ran a presidential campaign touting a "rainbow coalition." Harvard plans to host a national congress of student Hispanic, Asian and Black organizations in February.
