...book that it was time to end the Cold War isolation of Cuba. Indeed, a number of the Republican foreign policy heavyweights introduced by Bush on the campaign as key foreign policy advisers, such as former secretaries of state Lawrence Eagleburger, Henry Kissinger and George Shultz, have signed on to legislative attempts to institute a comprehensive bipartisan review of U.S. Cuba policy...

Pamela quickly hires a young rioter, Dulle Griet (Mirjana Jokovic), as an au pair for the child, but the two soon find themselves on the run from officers Herman and Gunter...
...performances are all well-done, from Shultz's perfectly ditzy Dalrymple to Jokovic's young Dulle Griet who grows to love the child she cares for, maturing immeasurably in the process.
