[Marxism] In Havana, A Page From McCain's Past





In Havana, A Page From McCain's Past
Restaurateur Displays Story Of Interview With POW
By Manuel Roig-Franzia

HAVANA -- At first glance, the trophy wall in the Cactus on 33rd
restaurant seems to follow a standard local formula.

Framed photo of heroically posed rebel. Check.

Rusty rifle. Check.

Signed postcard from Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Check.

But there, among the routine, lies a surprise: a copy of a faded, 38-
year-old article from Granma, the Cuban Communist Party newspaper. On

the page is a photo of Fernando Barral, a Cuban psychologist turned
restaurateur, sitting at a well-appointed coffee table in Hanoi. He
is interviewing a square-jawed, sandy-haired U.S. prisoner of war. A
prisoner of war named John McCain.
