Cuba’s Path to a Post Castro Era and Market Reform
The departure of Cuba’s last Soviet troop presence signals a turning point for Fidel Castro’s long rule. With Moscow’s loss, Cuba faces economic collapse yet potential recovery through market reforms, private enterprise, and restored US trade relations, aided by a Cuban exile capital influx and a future democratic framework. The Clinton administration should prepare to help integrate a post Castro Cuba into the democratic world.

Chastity Bonus Proposal for Young Marines Sparks Debate
Chicago Tribune military writer David Evans reports First Sgt. Robert White proposes a $10,000 chaste bonus to Marines who stay single through their first enlistment. The plan aims to reduce divorces and illegitimate parenting, arguing pay and deployment strains fuel immaturity and promiscuity. White suggests a contractual single status and loss of honorable discharge if one fathers or bears legitimate children. The idea would align with existing rules that bar single parents and require single status for embassy guard duty assignments.
