Castro Manipulates Foreign Media


I'm working on another piece about Fidel Castro. I believe he's manipulating the foreign media to portray him as healthier than he is. He's also tending to his image, strange as this is to say, by not appearing in public or being photographed. How his absence makes helps his image and how Castro is now having foreign leaders write most of his "Reflections" will be the foci of the article. Watch this space for news of this article.

A review on Amazon and several new topics I'm writing about.

I'm working on a few new ideas for articles. Watch this blog to see where I put them.
1. How amateurs have contributed to the search for exoplanets.
2. How to read a Kindle book without a Kindle--or any other mobile device.
3. Things the trailer for the new movie "John Carter" can tell us about how closely the movie follows the book "A Princess of Mars."

My most recent writing is a review of Tony Leather's "Dancing with the Devil and other twisted tales" on Amazon.com. I gave the book five stars because it deserves them. By the way, I read this Kindle book without a Kindle.

In case you haven't noticed, I'm trying to switch to writing in AP Style.
