Kissinger vetoes U S Cuban sports exchange over Angola policy
The State Department, citing Cuban military involvement in Angola, its stance on Puerto Rico independence, and a Zionism racism link vote, vetoed a plan to allow U S major league players to play a Cuban team in Havana. Officials say domestic politics ahead of the Republican primaries also factored in. A Mexico City meeting reportedly arranged an ABC broadcast deal, but relations would need improvement before any game occurred.
