Abstract
Representatives of Britain's dependent territories gathered in London for a conference that could have a significant bearing on their future relations with Britain. The six Caribbean dependent territories state what they want out of the proposed new deal with London. President Fidel Castro has rejected charity from the Cuban American National Foundation and US Senator Jesse Helms. In the Cayman Islands, authorities fear inappropriate behavior and refuse to let a ship, which was part of a gay cruise, dock. Director of the cruise, Rich Campbell states he would not forget the snub and warns there could be fallout for the island's tourism industry. In Trinidad, the conference on sexual pleasure and sexual health continues and Dr. Everold Hosein states the conference acknowledges the pleasure of sex. In cricket, following the cancellation of the test match at Sabina Park, authorities try to allay fears on the state of readiness of the pitch. Trinidad has recruited a soil scientist Dr. Frank Gumbs to supervise the preparation of the two pitches. Dr. Gumbs states that science must be part of traditional pitch preparation.
