...those same polls show that Menem, 72, of the Peronist Party, is the surprising front runner in this Sunday's presidential election.

When Nestor started from third, Harvard freshman second baseman Zak Farkes cut off Lentz’s throw and attempted to throw Nestor out at the plate. Farkes one-hopped the throw to the plate and Nestor slid in before Lentz could apply...
They do have names, though, Castro’s prisoners do. Here are just a few of them: Vladimiro Roca, Julia Cecilia Delgado, Angel Moya Acosta, Nestor Rodríguez Lobaina, Rene Montes de Oca, Dr. Oscar Biscet, Jose Orlando Gonzalez Bridon. They are victims of a regime that in 2001 was rated by Freedom House as one of the most repressive in the world —worse than Libya and Syria, worse even than China. They have been arrested for “disrespect,” for “dangerousness...
