His series is entitled "Evolution of the Revolution" and yesterday's segment was entitled "How Cuba Is Using Capitalism To Save Socialism." It is excellent journalism, neither pro-Cuban nor anti-Cuban. Much of what Americans know about Cuba comes from people, including Cuban-Americans, who have never been on the island. Mr. Fernholz this week is on the island. All four of his articles are pertinent and palpable. Also, he is a great writer in case you just like excellent writing. The first paragraph in yesterday's second of four articles by Tim Fernholz is: "If you are fantasizing about your first trip to Cuba, that fantasy presumably includes cruising down the Malecon, Havana's seaside promenade, in an open-topped 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air, with the tropical light playing over the decrepit buildings and the warm sea breeze tickling your scalp. Cigars are probably involved, and rum." If you like great writing, and desire reading a fair and balanced update on what it's like to be in fast-changing Cuba, then dial up all four of Tim Fernholz's articles, especially these first two.
