FOREIGN POLICY

U.S. and Cuba inching toward each other

The United States and Cuba are taking baby steps toward each other. Since President Obama called for a ``new beginning,'' his administration has allowed unlimited family travel and remittances, resumed migration talks, proposed direct-mail service and given its blessing to the concert by Colombian pop star Juanes. In the past 10 months, the State Department issued 5,500 more visas for Cubans to visit the United States than in the same period before October 2008.

    Immigrant parishes flourish in Miami

    Miami is an immigrant city. Heartland Americans often come here full of excitement. ``So near and yet so foreign,'' said a 1940s promotion by the Cuban Tourist Commission to attract American tourists. Not a bad motto for today's Miami.

    It's been two months since the coup in Honduras. The Arias plan -- issued by the Costa Rican president -- calls for Manuel Zelaya's return with diminished powers and an amnesty for all parties in the events before June 28 and since then.

  • HONDURAS

    End coup stalemate

    Idon't know what else to call it. If a president is awakened by soldiers pointing their weapons in his face, what is it if not a coup? Still, Manuel Zelaya's removal on June 28 can't be treated as if it were a return to the 1970s when brutal coups established military governments, banned political parties and perpetrated massive human-rights violations.
