With local variations, the same sorry pattern exists in most of America's larger cities. While Atlanta still boasts that it is "a city too busy to hate" and racial friction seems mild, there is tinder in the deterioration of its public housing.

...proposal-but not outright. In a front-page editorial in the official newspaper Granma, Cuba expressed its willingness to discuss the "isolated" problem of the refugees if Washington agreed to talk about other issues such as the U.S. economic blockade and the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo.
