Thanks for bringing me up to speed on where Brinker stands on growth this year. I've only been able to catch one hour of Brinker in the last three weeks (while driving down to Milwaukee one Sunday) and he spent most of it commenting on Clinton's latest personal problems. (Unfortunately, WISN only carries his first hour on Sundays now). As always, you can't really trust a journalist's objectivity when he wants the facts to fit the story, as with the USA Today columnist who wanted to consider the potential for a 5% bottom range growth a catalyst for a sharp market pull-back. I remember watching a CNN segment in 1994 about how the US embargo was finally bringing down the Cuban economy. To prove their point, they showed film of rush hour Havana buses packed with people with many people clinging onto the outside of the buses in desperation for public transportation. That following January, I was working in Guatemala City and staying at a boarding house in the old downtown. At breakfast one morning, I told a fellow tenant about the CNN story, and we both laughed as we later watched the usual rush hour buses lumber by with people clinging in desperation to the outside of the buses. I think she asked me when the United States was going to lift its embargo on Guatemala.
