who at machinegun point was just ripped from the arms of those that loved and saved him. Why don`t you donate your excess telescope goods to Cuban children seeking refuge in this country or to another institution hated by the Clinton-Gore-Reno Mafia, the Boy Scouts of America.

Having a hobby in Cuba, especially dealing with telescopes is no doubt considered subversive to the Castro regime. Unless the receipent is a patsy of the murderous occupation, sending him such probably will put him and his family in jeapordy. I feel sorry for anyone in Cuba but they have no spare time. Any "non-productive" moments need to be spent kissing Fidels behind or building rafts to escape.

I know Clinton hoped to normalize relations with Castro before leaving office and Elian was crimping his style but every American should see the Cuban Films of Castro and his terrorist hoarde putting guns to the heads of innocent men, women and children and blowing their brains out because they were the educated hardworking middle class. Until there is a War Crimes trial and Fidel and his terrorists are put away for good, we should not be giving Cuba anything but encouragement for independance. Until then I am sure that there are needy scouts in your area that would love the magazines and spare telescope materials, if not then a Junior High or High School library.-RC
