Secret meeting between Kennedy and Castro Audio included inside.

Washington D.C. - On the 40th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and the eve of the broadcast of a new documentary film on Kennedy and Castro, the National Security Archive today posted an audio tape of the President and his national security advisor, McGeorge Bundy, discussing the possibility of a secret meeting in Havana with Castro. The tape, dated only seventeen days before Kennedy was shot in Dallas, records a briefing from Bundy on Castro's invitation to a U.S. official at the United Nations, William Attwood, to come to Havana for secret talks on improving relations with Washington. The tape captures President Kennedy's approval if official U.S. involvement could be plausibly denied.

Funny you should mention Lord of the Flies since I just reread this a few weeks ago--first time since reading it sophmore year in H.S. Classic book on the nature of man. The thing that tripped me out the most was that it had been 10+ years since I first read it...time flys.

Yeah I read it for the first time, I saw the movie when I was younger. So I knew what was going to happen. Like always though the book is better then the movie. The movie is still good though.

And if you can I'm sure they have it at your local public library, give them call and ask if they have the film "the color of fear" by Lee Mun Wah. Here are some excerpts from the film:


"What is presented to me as an American does not look like me, does not think like me, does not smell like me, does not cry like me, does not play like me. To name ‘American’ as my primary identity would be to deny most of who I am."
--Roberto, Chicano

"You’re not allowed to be a black man in corporate America. If you walk through halls with some pride, you’re going to scare some people. You’ve got to shuffle. It’s a 1990’s shuffle, but it’s still a shuffle."
--Loren, African American

"White people don’t talk about themselves as white people. They talk about themselves as human beings, as if it means the same thing. What I want to know is, what does it mean to be a white person? Doesn’t it seem kind of deep to you that you don’t have an answer to that question?"
--Victor, African American

"I’m so tired of hearing about how bad people of color have it."
