Cuba Seizes U.S. Mission’s Book Shipment

“Works by Martin Luther King Jr., John Steinbeck and Groucho Marx were among 5,101 books seized by Cuban authorities after being shipped in by the U.S. government, America’s top diplomat in Havana said Thursday.”

“American diplomats were told it was a “firm decision by the government” not to allow the books into the communist-run country for distribution to dissident groups, including independent libraries, U.S. Interests Section Chief James Cason said.” (from AP)
