Abstract
In Barbados, the government suffered its first casualty as Tourism Minister Dr. Richard 'Johnny' Cheltenham resigned. Amid election campaigning, Dominica Prime Minister Eugenia Charles has filed a libel suit against the Opposition United Workers Party Leader Edison James. In Trinidad and Tobago, the ruling party has lost ground in an opinion survey conducted by social scientist Dr. Selwyn Ryan. Gordon Draper gives the reaction of the party and Basdeo Panday expresses his skepticism about the poll. The Organization of American States (OAS) General Assembly opens in Haiti but little attention is being paid by local Haitians. The OAS Secretary-General Cesar Gaviria calls for Cuba to be re-integrated into the hemispheric grouping. Reverend Lucius Walker of Pastors for Peace would like to see the US show economic interest in Cuba, like other countries. The British Guardian newspaper interviewed Trinidadian Krishna Maharaj, now on death row in Florida, as he seeks a last minute appeal. In cricket, the West Indies drew with Northamptonshire in the final day of their rain affected match.
