...Caribbean like a Gulf Stream of the spirit. In the new generation, the stream has been strengthened by a number of remarkable young writers-among them an important lyric poet (Derek Walcott), an insightful critic (L. E. Brathwaite) and dozens of gifted storytellers (V. S. Reid, Samuel Selvon, Clement Richer, Lydia Cabrera, Albert Helman). Many of them are Negro or part-Negro, and they write in several languages (Dutch, English, French, Spanish). Their works, sampled in this arresting anthology by U.S. Poet Barbara Howes, insistently betray a family resemblance. They are earthy, passionate, gay, fantastic, funny-on the whole, more...
...long-term proposition," Castro said, "but the other party did not understand it that way." As a result, the Cuban rice ration was lopped in half-from 6 lbs. a month per person to 3 lbs.

But no matter; this was charming music, realized with spirit, and it is promising to find Jackson venturing into unrecorded repertory...
...that they have climbed high, the newly rich are sensitive about the "millionaire" title and seldom brag about it. But they respect the power of money, like what it can buy. Great wealth seems to produce a security and mobility that usually enables the rich to grow richer. By putting $1,000,000 into municipal bonds, an investor can get an annual income of $35,000 tax free. Most of today's newly rich entrepreneurs use their money in a more venturesome way, but few of them live on as grand a scale as the ostentatious millionaires...
