...last ten years but because of what we are afraid his evil personality will cause him to do in the future. If Saddam had marketed himself better, the American public sentiment about invading Iraq would undoubtedly be different, and that is a troublesome thought as well. I wonder what would have happened if David Chase had an Iraqi cousin. Might the Most-Wanted Despot instead be America’s favorite star...

So it was little wonder that Cuban President Fidel Castro made a point of dropping by the American Egg Board's stand at the Havana food exposition that started yesterday. "How fast can you make them?" he asked New Yorker Howard Kelmer, 64, who is the Board's senior representative - and who holds the Guinness Book...
