    I'm going to Cuba on Thursday. I'll try my best to get an exclusive with Fidel for Ess-Jay. Wish me luck.

    I was there with the Orioles in '99 and met Fidel in a post-game reception line at the Palace de Revolution prior to a banquet. Waiting on the line for my turn, I thought I'd try to be polite and compliment the pitchers on the Cuban team, especially considering Contreras' peformance that afternoon. Unfortunately, I don't know Spanish and I couldn't think of lanzadores. Instead I came out with something that sounded like peletoros, thinking that would be people who threw the ball (pelota). In hindsight, I'm pretty sure I told him the Cubans had developed excellent furriers.

    Relatives who went last year loved Cuba.

    That said, I want a car. Lift this embargo Mr. President/Presidente'.
     
  8. Having gone to Cuba, I will gladly say it's got nice beaches, but if you can get there, get into the interior to get a taste of the culture and the music.

    Al Neri: Our friend and associate Hyman Roth is in the news. The High Court of Israel turned down his request to live there as a returning Jew. He landed in Buenos Aires last night offering a "gift" of a million dollars if they'd let him stay. They said no. His passport's been invalidated, except for his return trip to the States.
    Tom Hagen: He'll try Panama next.
    Michael Corleone: Panama won't take him. Not for a million, not for ten million.
    ---
    Michael Corleone: C'mon Frankie... my father did business with Hyman Roth, he respected Hyman Roth.
    Frank Pentangeli: Your father did business with Hyman Roth, he respected Hyman Roth... but he never *trusted* Hyman Roth!

    Michael Corleone: If anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it is that you can kill anyone.

    [about the unrest in Cuba]
    Michael Corleone: I saw a strange thing today. Some rebels were being arrested. One of them pulled the pin on a grenade. He took himself and the captain of the command with him. Now, soldiers are paid to fight; the rebels aren't.
    Hyman Roth: What does that tell you?
    Michael Corleone: It means they could win.
    ---
    Michael Corleone: Hyman Roth has been dying from the same heart attack for the last twenty years.
