234. I'm so glad you saw that. It's a real eye-opener. isn't it?
It would be great for anyone of any political position to see.

Yeah, I agree: it was almost too much to bear seeing how much they had let the old Yacht Club deteriorate. How much pain can one woman take?

It was very interesting seeing that when she started thinking about the embargo back in the States, re-evaluating it, some of her friends started questioning her about whether she might be becoming a communist. Ah, ha ha ha ha haaaaaa.

Interesting that she decided to start calling people she knew in government to discuss the embargo. Wasn't one of them JEESE HELMS? (It's been so long since I saw it I can't be sure...)

What a bunch of creeps they were. She boasted that the clothes she used to wear were imported from Italy.

Here's a site for the documentary:

Here's a site with some reviews of the movie:

I hope to see this again. I'll bet it will be shown again on PBS sometime.






Her house, revisited
