...Cubans really needed $1.3 billion worth of milk powder--enough to supply everyone on the island with 60 gallons a year--and why the powder was being shipped from Singapore, of all places.

With canvas doors and a skimpy skin of sheet metal, most humvees are designed to move small numbers of troops quickly.
