With windows wide open they chattered loudly over coffee, volumed up a phonograph, harmonized on Old Black Joe, aiming all this...

A new superhighway was snaking west from the city along the sea front, and underneath Havana Bay, a 20-lane tunnel needed only five more months of work before it would open up an entire new city-East Havana-being built across...
