What exasperates the embargo busters most is watching foreign competitors' cutting tourism and other lucrative deals on an island of 11 million repressed consumers just half an hour's flight from Miami. Feeling that ire, the White House this year further loosened U.S. travel restrictions to Cuba, making it easier for Americans like business executives, researchers and athletes--as well as families with kin in Cuba--to board a charter flight in Miami, New York City or Los Angeles that lands in Havana. Donohue paid Castro a visit last July, the first ever by a U.S. Chamber of Commerce chief...
Even more unsettling was the twist the case took last week, when prosecutors charged two white teenagers with the murder and said they had targeted Richardson, a stranger to them, because he was black.

In a few inches of sailcloth or the slip worn by his Girl at Mirror, he could put white paint through as many adventures as Robert Ryman does in his snow-flurry abstractions. As for his pieties, they turn out sometimes to be the same ones fundamental to civil society. By nothing less than an actual vote among Post readers, Saying Grace was his most popular canvas...
...soon as I got the iBook, by the way, I knew the Irish-pub idea was out. The machine turned out to be more feminine than I expected. It's a zippy little laptop, but the rubberized blueberry-and-white clamshell design looks like something Barbie would use. I'm still willing to consider that experiment as soon as Apple makes a wireless machine that looks good next to a pint of Guinness...
