...sponsored by two of the most conservative legislators on Capitol Hill. But Clinton's move came amid the nationwide revulsion over the shooting down by Cuban MiGs of an unarmed plane flown over Cuba by exile activists; America appears considerably less enthusiastic about a political campaign over a six-year-old...
