Last night I had the honor of accompanying distinguished professors Carmelo Mesa-Lago (who needs no introduction) and Jiang Shixue, Vice President of the Chinese Association of Latin American Studies, on the China Radio International English Service show "Today," with co-hosts Zhao Yang and Ben Leung (I love it when someone from China sounds like they are from Britain).
Above is a photo from the Beijing studios, while Carmelo participated via telephone from Pittsburgh and I from NYC.
With all the hullabaloo about this new-fangled "Inter-Web," we sometimes forget the power of the good ole radio.
(On second thought, I guess you're going to listen to this radio show on the Internet, so I stand corrected!)
Cuba & Raúl's Reforms

| Panel discussion:When asked about Cuba- what springs to mind? Cuban cigars? Rum? Fidel Castro? Maybe Communism? Well, cigars and rum are very much here to stay whatever the weather; Castro is getting on but is still there. Communism, on the other hand, the raison d'etre of the state of Cuba as we know it, well, that's looking a bit more tenuous now than say, 10 years ago. -Jiang Shixue, Vice President of the Chinese Association of Latin American Studies -Ted Henken, President, Association for the Study of the Cuban Economy -Carmelo Mesa-Lago, Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus of Economics and Latin American Studies, University of Pittsburg  |
