The article presents opinion of the author about a journalist Tina Brown. Who can forget the incisive way Brown went to the heart of the matter after Princess Diana's death. Journeying to the U.S. White House for the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Tony Blair's visit, Brown reported that "the brilliance within seemed brighter on account of the howling darkness without" and that "as the President of the U. S. walks with the Blair into the State Dining Room, his height, his sleekness, his newly cropped ironfiling hair, and the intensity of his blue eyes project a kind of avid inclusiveness that encircles every jaded celebrity he passes. The article further discusses about the most pervasive ideological lessons in the schools of Cuba that the U.S. is an evil and Cubans must always be ready to defend themselves.
