Staging a dramatic scene
means finding conflicts.
It's mathematical: change
a rhythm, immediately you
have an emotion.
Monday was a splendid day.
The American President was
in Havana, incrementally
disseminating a little air
and light upon a decadent
and caustic spat we could
have ended generations ago,
but for the domestic polit-
ical profit to be extracted
from protracting it; while,
on the mainland, the Ameri-
can Israel Public Affairs
Committee [sic] convened a
talent contest in the per-
petuation of rich and long
exploited strains of crisis.
Mrs Clinton, to no one's
surprise, presented remarks
of unimpeachable obfusca-
tion of the contours of a
stone whose Excalibur she
refused by denouncing it,
neutrality. Never had that
picaresque rapport between
language lofted so sweetly
its ironic refrain, than in
her proud consecration of the
young to an unctuous despair.
There are so many young
people here, thousands of
college students from hun-
dreds of campuses around
the country. I think we
should all give them a
hand for being here and
beginning their commitment
to this important cause.
