Caribbean Report 23-01-1998

In Bermuda, representatives of Britain's Caribbean dependent territories arrive at a complete consensus on the review of their relationship with Britain. The CARICOM audit team to examine Guyana's elections faces a major hurdle regarding the composition of this team. However, CARICOM Chairman Dr. Keith Mitchell is sure of the support of all the parties involved. On the second day of the papal visit to Cuba, Pope John Paul II has publicly denounced the American embargo on Cuba. Professor Anthony Bryan of Miami University comments on how much weight this denouncement will actually carry. The President of the Regional Council of Guadeloupe, Lucette Michaux-Chevry has been placed under official penal investigation for the second time in two months. The organizers of this year's Commonwealth Games in Malaysia have assured that the games will not be affected by the economic problems in East Asia. Research published in the medical journal, The Lancet, suggests that the human eye cannot keep pace with everything that is happening on the football field. Hence, it is not necessarily the referee's fault if he makes the wrong decision sometimes.
