...other less attractive aspect of a very modest increase in hiring is that employers smell blood in the water now. They look at a line of two thousand people at a job fair that might have forty positions available in total and tell themselves that it is too good to be true. But, it isn't.

Raúl already consults a small core of foreign policy veterans on U.S. policy, including Jorge Bolaños, Cuba's de facto ambassador in Washington, and Fernando Remírez de Estenoz, one of Cuba's most respected diplomats...
