We call it inalienable right of pursuit of happiness. Marxism or no Marxism, it does not make any difference, once you take away from a man this right he becomes a slave, a poor miserable being.

Some offi« cials have voiced considerable dis- tress about the apathy some busi- nessmen have shown in connection with the start of ferry serviee, They don’t seem to think it will have much effect”on business, But it will. We recall a discussion we had with an official of the Cuban Tourist Commission last year. He said ruefully: “We are very happy about the ferry but we're afraid there will be more Cubahs going to the States, than Americans com- ing here. We'd like to have it the other way around.” And the Cu- bans spend money. They spent $56,- 000,000 in one year in Miami fir merchandise from automobiles to television sets and clothing.

Citizen, Guess I always thought sea cucumbers were “just there,” Didn’t know they were ever of any value. We see quite a lot of them just off our property here, and wondered if the Chinese actually eat them. Ugh. Just a suggestion, but I wish you would republish the article you spoke of you printed 30 years ago. My husband and I are very much interested in sea life, and read all we can on the subject.
