Letters

When we get over this fascination with Third World election tactics and Third World styles of government, Miami can move to another level. I mean, how many times do we have to be voted "least something or other" before someone finally takes the hint? When you're at the bottom, there is only one direction to move.

Emilio's Coda
I am one of the fortunate ones who worked and played with Emilio Vandenedes on several occasions. His knowledge and passion for Cuban music was outstanding and contagious. As a Cuban musicologist, Emilio was a tremendous resource to the community and was always unconditionally available to those who shared his passion. Thanks to Judy Cantor for her eulogy (March 26). Emilio will be missed by many, both here and on the island.
