One juicy story I heard about Hillary that she wont say
in her book: A month ago I was talking to an acquaintance
from San Francisco, Ca. on the phone. He told me he has a neighbor who was a big 60's radical and still is. She told my acquaintance that Hillary was in Cuba in 1969 cutting sugar cane to help with the harvest. The radical neighbor was big in the Venceremos Brigade, out of Berkeley, that sent radical college students in the 60's and 70's to cut sugar cane in Cuba in solidarity with the Castro government.From what I read the Venceremos Brigade still exists, it is based in Berkeley.

I don't think she ever joined the Venceremos Brigade---that would certainly have come out earlier. I did know a
girl who in fact did go to Cuba in the late 60s and worked with the Brigade---her name was Karen Nussbaum and she wound up heading the "Women's Bureau" in the Department of Labor in Clinton's first term.

They would never let Hillary even touch their sugar cane. Who'd want sour sugar cane?
