Augusto Pinochet—Some Perspective

To read the mainstream media you'd think that in Sept. 1973 Augusto Pinochet's villainous henchmen, while twirling their pointy black mustaches and snickering maliciously, overthrew a Chilean "president" (Salvador Allende) somewhere on the order of Jimmy Carter. Then these ghouls lined up 3,000 harmless sociology professors and innocent leftist parliamentarians and shot them—for the sheer heck of it.

What Canadian Tourists Miss in Cuba

Please keep this in mind: the following was NOT written by a "Cuban exile, hard-liner, Republican right-wing crackpot" (like me).

The New York Times and “Book Banning”

In Sunset Boulevard, you couldn't help but sympathize with Norma Desmond. She made nostalgia, senility and decrepitude slightly pitiable, but also charming. The New York Times, it's stock value in the cellar while squirming under the thumb of a foreign robber baron, makes the same thing shabby, malodorous and pathetic.
