42. Many of them, I dare say. Cuba doesn't just educate its own doctors, but
students from all over South America. Sometimes, I think there is a "quid pro quo" in terms of raw materials, such as oil, I believe. But I doubt if it's obligatory. In any case, they know the need for solidarity in the face of the "empire".

It's not the way humanitarians' minds work. The rich (the cynical mass of them) tend to judge people by their own standards, but these are misleading, because they reflect a concern to know the price of everything, and the absence of a knowledge of the actual value attaching to it.

There are people who act from noble motives. Not too many politicians, it's true, but they exist. Nelson Mandela was another.
