1. A group of American publishers is trying to get Treasury Department restrictions on editing works from Cuba, Ira, etc overturned. I was disappointed to see that Shanna Compton wasn't party to the suit, but I guess her Rebel Edit has been quiet on this for a while.
2. The FCC is having a hard time censoring Spanish language media because there aren't enough Spanish speaking censors. Might this be an avenue of employment for some unscrupulous readers (ie those who don't mind having censor on their resumes)? This weekend I was talking with someone had just finished reading For Whom the Bell Tolls and we laughed about Hemingway's use of the worst profanity in untranslated Spanish while in English he'd overlaid such gems as "Go unprint thyself."
