...lately there has been a seismic shift in his thinking that could accelerate the anti-embargo movement in Washington and open the doors to hundreds of thousands of American visitors to Cuba each year. Sources close to the Cuban leader confide that in the past year, he has been feeling uncharacteristic pangs of regret about the island's wrecked economy and what it will say about his legacy as a 20th century populist icon. As a result, they say, Castro is finally, genuinely behind the anti-embargo push and doesn't want to botch it. "He knows this...

However, in your newly found penchant for active fault lines, you have dangerously blurred the distinction between the coasts. This earthquake was a seismic anomaly, yet you consider yourselves blooded veterans for having gone through the experience once. Let this be a warning to you, West Coast wannabees, if you went west as I have gone east, you won’t have a seismically reinforced leg on which to stand...
