I’m doing a year-end clean out, and I decided to toss a “Golden Press” paperback entitled The Southeast. The copyright was 1959. I was a junior in high school that year.
I happened to open the book to a section called Nearby Islands, which included the Bahamas and Cuba. The description of Cuba noted some of the sites and said a ”car ferry” operated from Key West to Cuba. The very last line of the Cuba section noted: “Cuba is now out of bounds for United States citizens.”
So, we had a policy at least 55 years old that has not worked, but Sen. Marco Rubio wants to continue it. Maybe he thinks it will work next year.
