Even as many other Communist countries are experimenting with economic reforms of one kind or another, Cuba has chosen to move in precisely the opposite direction. Within the past year Fidel Castro has pulled the plug on the country's once-thriving system of free-market farmers' stands and a program that allowed Cubans to build, buy and sell private homes on the open market, two of the touches of capitalism that he has permitted to take root in 28 years of rule. TIME Correspondent Laura Lopez visited Cuba with an American delegation from Indianapolis, host city for this year...
...Harvard and Radcliffe" was disappointing, to say the least. After reading the April 18 article, I wondered if any member of The Crimson had attended the concert.

But the basic components -- the microprocessors, floppy disks and operating system -- are made of readily available, off-the- shelf parts, which should make it relatively easy for other firms to legally reproduce the new machines...
...Billy Melvin, executive director of the National Association of Evangelicals, argues that his movement -- media portrayals to the contrary -- consists not of star preachers but of tens of thousands of churches across the country that "plug in, day in and day out." Perhaps last week's theatrics provide a useful reminder that the heart of Evangelicalism can never be found on the artificial "Main Street USA" of a theme park but only on the many real Main Streets, however simple and unglamorous, that traverse America...
