Damon Runyon Well now -- our weekend trips to America this summer have been a lot of fun and I hope that you enjoy my reports.  I am definitely getting interested in all things American and have been reading some old stuff that seemed popular in its day.  I ran across an author by the name of Damon Runyon who interests me.  He wrote lots of stuff out of New York City, of course, and that musical Guys and Dolls was made out of some of his writings.  Here's a quote from him which I think shows you what he was about: The race may not always be to the swift nor the victory to the strong, but that's how you bet.  Wow!  That is really profound, don't you think? Oh, and one more thing for this posting.  I know nothing of this Russian Putin's recent comments about re-establishing a Soviet presence in Cuba.  I repeat  -- I know nothing about this.  I'll have to ask Raul. 8:09:50 AM
