Reagans does not propose to place sanctions on the Haitian government as on the Polish government. He does not educate the American people as to the connection between economic refugees and the political basis for poverty, hungry, joblessness...

Simon took her first trip at age four, in steerage, aboard the Susquehanna, bound for New York City. There she grew up in neighborhoods where English had many accents...
