86. Some would list the Revolution itself. Any number --
-- of U.S. interests -- most of them not savory -- went down the tubes when Castro swept into Havana.

The Bay of Pigs. A HUGE public relations disaster for John Kennedy, arguably the lowpoint of his presidency.

The Boatlift. It was in a few of the papers.

Bebe Rebozo. President Nixon's good pal with his "interesting" connections to the Cuba issue.

The on-going hold Castro has on left-right politics in the U.S., playing the Cuban-American card like a fiddle while numerous U.S. administrations, including Clinton's, simply and flat-out lost the public relations war with Castro.

Elian Gonzales is just one in a long, long list.
