Dear Yaacov: I am very familiar with Cubans. In fact when Castro FIRST took over Cuba and the Catholic Church began bringing them here in planeloads I, being one of the few Floridians that spoke a little Spanish, was assigned 20 families to look after while they were placed around the country. I found them to be great people. Later in College my roommate was a Cuban Refuge. Eventually, I came back to Fla. and employed a number of them. Good workers too. But its true, in the old days, they had little concept of Law as we know it. Partly because they had so little of it in their Country (Batista was no Saint either) and partly because Spanish Law is much different then Anglo Saxon Law. Now however, most of the Miami Cubans are just as American as the next fellow in that they have lived here for a generation or so. They respect the law but they also respect Family and Church very much. They also are nearly 100% united in hating Castro. I would agree the little boy is a pawn in all of this but I honestly dont think it started out that way, thats just the way it developed. JDN
