	World Press Review - The Tale of the Five Cuban Spies
		Cuban President Fidel Castro speaks in front of pictures of five men convicted of spying in the United States in Havana, June 23, 2001 (Photo: AFP).
		"The Five Patriotic Heroes," as the Cuban press refers to them, are a group of Cuban agents recently convicted in the United States for spearheading a spy ring known as "The Wasp Network." Their six-month trial in a Miami federal courtroom resulted in prison sentences that many Cubans feel were unjustified and excessively severe.
		The spies' trial has been mirrored by months of fervid "free the five" rallies and an abundance of rousing news reports on government-owned television casting the convicted agents as chivalrous, self-sacrificing crusaders who had ventured "into the belly of the beast" to protect their country.

		By the mid-1950s and early 1960s—New York's Augustan age—urbanologists declared New York the star of Megalopolis, the six-hundred-mile skein of development from Boston to Washington that knits the Eastern Seaboard into one long, thin, supercilious supercity.
		New York is unusual because it still has a lively downtown, making it one of very few U.S. cities with both a vital heart and an active edge.
		New York has long cultivated an edgy relationship with nature, that big green blur between the lobby and the cab.

		Hammond soon established himself as a leading physician in New York City, and was a pioneer in the practice and teaching of neurology, holding the professorship of nervous and mental diseases at Bellevue Hospital Medical College and subsequently at New York University.
		The new permanent hospital was constructed of native limestone with a wooden veranda on two sides and surrounded by a wooden picket fence.
		The new hospital was far from the center of the post, so a dispensary was built north of the old hospital in 1889 and continued to function as a medical building until 1924, when it was occupied as officers' quarters.

	The Pelham Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The group is seldom called The Pelham Islands nowadays because most people who live in the area are not originally from there.
		The name stems from the fact that the group all once belonged to Thomas Pell, to whom the Town of Pelham, New York and Pelham Manor, New York, Pellville, New York, North Pelham, Pelham Gardens, Bartow-Pell Mansion and Pelham Bay N.Y. owe their names.
		Thomas Pell bought the area and islands from the Siwanoy Native American Indians.

	Guerilla Theater
		The group arranged for a tour of the New York Stock Exchange under the auspices of ESSO (the East Side Service Organization, a hip social services agency; the fact that this acronym was better known as the name of a giant oil corporation is probably what gained them entre to the NYSE).
		As a result, by the end of the year the name "Yippie!" was devised, along with a new organizational framework for the New York group; it had the virtue of being free of any contested associations, and also marked a shift in the focus of operations from the local to the national scene.
		The New York-based organizers, however, had an ulterior motive: to intentionally trigger a violent reaction so as to, in Rubin's words, "put people through tremendous, radicalizing changes." Their objective, he added, was to stimulate a "massive white revolutionary movement which, working in...

	Know The Ledge........DVD Review: Cuban Hip Hop All Stars.........Know The Ledge........ DVD Review: Cuban Hip Hop All ...
		Cuban Hip Hop All Stars is a documentary that tells the story of the first hip hop album to be performed and produced by an all-Cuban ensemble.
		The quality of the documentary is okay; it’s a little messy in terms of structure (you never know what’s going on) and then there are the very daft episodes where the rappers perform out their lyrics, with cringe-worthy results (think cheap South American soap opera).
		On the whole, Cuban Hip Hop All Stars is a good film and, what’s more, it’s a great insight into the life of young (and mostly fl) Cubans struggling to show the world what they are capable of and to be listened to.

	Cigar Smoker's FAQ
		A classic case in point are the larger Cuban Hoyos (and many of the Cuban Montecristos) which are characterized by their unrivaled complexity of 'taste' (full flavor), and relatively mild (as compared to other Cuban cigars) body.
		The only role of the governmental association in the actual sale of the tobacco [other than regulating the amount which may be sold] is to purchase, with the funds raised through the membership fees, all tobacco grown by its members within their quotas, which is not purchased by commercial entities, at a low price.
		It's unfortunate that so many of the new "boutique" cigars becoming popular are in such demand that their manufacturers are shipping them directly off the roller's tables, without this necessary "post-rolling" aging.
