Abstract
The influential New York Times has urged President Bill Clinton Administration to end the thirty-three year old embargo on Cuba. Authorities in Belize are deciding what should be done with twenty Cuban refugees who fled camps in the Cayman Islands. The World Bank has a new president, James Wolfensohn, an American investment banker. Development charities are unhappy with the appointment of yet another American as president of the World Bank. Paul Brannen of Christian Aid and George Gelber of Catholic charity, CAFOD, express their disappointment. Atherton Martin, Head of the Dominica Development Institute, responds to just how realistic it would be for a Third World candidate to fill the post of president of the World Bank. Despite a string of good performances, Trinidadian Phil Simmons has been left out of the West Indies squad for the first test against Australia. Joey Carew comments on whether he was surprised Simmons had been overlooked. In Britain, a row over the Church's stance on homosexuality has continued to brew. Carol Orr reports on the growing debate which is forcing clergymen around the world to re-evaluate their position on human sexuality within the Church.
