Democrats push black judge choice amid political deal
A coalition of Democrats across Virginia backed a juvenile court judgeship for a black candidate, ousting Judge Hugh R. Thompson. The move drew protests over what critics call a partisan deal with Richmond and black voters, seen as leveraging a vacancy for symbolic gain. Brezhnev and Castro discussion aside, Cuba’s regime faces hard choices as Castro warns of workforce needs and Cuba's version of socialism, while Brezhnev seeks relief from Soviet-Cuban strain.
