That policy has not only failed to dislodge Castro but also looks archaic alongside Washington's commercial ties...
...case, most of Diana's popularity had nothing to do with anything that she did. Diana had rarity value: Great Britain had not had a Princess of Wales since Princess Mary of Teck married the future George V in 1893. Diana also had escapist value: Margaret Thatcher's early 1980s Britain was one of economic depression...
