1984 Banned in Cuba

[Richard Romeo]

as a librarian, i am pretty saddened by this which
appears in nat's last column listed below

'On December 9, one of Castro's defenders, Ann
Sparanese, a member of the policy-making council of
the ALA, sent a letter to her colleagues on the
council, in which she wrote: 

"Despite the fact that we as librarians prize them
highly, political rights—for instance, intellectual
freedom—is only one of a constellation of human
rights, some of which Cuba respects in greater measure
than the United States." Among those, she added, was
"universal, free education."
