Eleanor Roosevelt explains things so well. $72 in 1953 would be about $580 today for their cheapest model watch! In reference to Barrett's book title--"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."--George Orwell Interesting, Hevia's views on Cuba under Batista who couldn't win democratically so he seized the govt. Batista's actions made a breeding ground for Communism and revolt. Javits was a liberal Republican. He and Eleanor might have agreed on some issues.
