Abstract
Since the Cuban revolution, Cuban-American relations have been strained. The Cuban Adjustment Act (1966) grants refugee status to virtually every Cuban national to arrive in the US. This is a point of contention between the two governments. This paper analyzes Cuban-American migration and the similar case of undocumented refugees from China arriving in Canada in 1999.

Abstract
The following paper will offer a summary of Jose Marti's, "Our America," and present also a synopsis of his contribution to Latin American - and especially Cuban - thinking during his lifetime. In the end, Marti was both a brilliant proponent for Cuban independence and a man who believed that Cuba and all of Latin America could heal internal and external cleavages and stand up to the threat of encroachment from the United States without resorting to hatred.

The Cuban Revolution: Jose Marti and His Work The following paper will offer a summary of Jose Marti's, "Our America," and present also a synopsis of his contribution to Latin American - and especially Cuban - thinking during his lifetime. In the end, Marti was both a brilliant proponent for Cuban independence and a man who believed that Cuba and all of Latin America could heal internal and external cleavages and stand up to the threat of encroachment from the United States without resorting to hatred. As much as anything else, Jose Marti wanted a uniquely South American government. Just as significantly, Marti wanted a South America that

Abstract
This paper gives an in-depth analysis of the role of American intelligence in the Cuban Missile Crisis. The paper further examines the shortcomings of the U.S. intelligence community in the last-half of 1962 which it cites as having made the Cuban Missile Crisis as frightful as it was. At the same time, while directing the reader to the CIA's failings the paper will considers President John F. Kennedy and argues that Kennedy's skepticism towards anything coming from the CIA made him phlegmatic in addressing the Soviet threat only about 90 miles from the continental United States.

From the Paper
"The role of American intelligence in the Cuban Missile Crisis has long been a topic of discussion among scholars. With that in mind, the following several pages will look at how the shortcomings - even lassitude - of the U.S. intelligence community in the last-half of 1962 made the Cuban Missile Crisis as frightful as it was. At the same time, while directing the reader to the CIA's failings (including, briefly, the failings of its then-director, John McCone), the paper will also turn its attention to President John F. Kennedy and argue that Kennedy's skepticism towards anything coming from the CIA made him phlegmatic in addressing the..."

Abstract
The paper discusses how during the Cuban Missile Crisis in late October of 1962, President John F. Kennedy's ability to balance issues of national interest against the imminent threat of global nuclear war was the most important aspect of his leadership. The paper notes that ironically, it was the dissension within the ranks of Kennedy's advisors that ultimately produced a viable solution that enabled the United States to compel Soviet removal of the missiles from Cuba without an invasion and subsequent escalation into nuclear war.

Abstract
A very brief overview of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.

From the Paper
"The Cuban Missile Crisis was one of the most dangerous moments in the history of the human race. For sixteen days in October of 1962, the world watched in horror as the United States and the Soviet Union engaged in a stare-down over nuclear weapons deployed by the Soviet Union in Cuba. Five months earlier in May of 1962, the premier of the Soviet Union, Nikita Khrushchev, decided to deploy nuclear missiles to Cuba. This decision was seen as a way to counter the vast..."

Abstract
The paper argues that the leadership of John F. Kennedy was tested during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. The paper explains that the creation of the ExComm, together with JFK's own willingness to heed advice, take responsibility for decisions and explore all options, may well have spared the world from nuclear disaster.

From the Paper
"President John F. Kennedy is today celebrated as much for his steady leadership during tumultuous times as he is lauded for his eloquence and ability to inspire. At no time during his presidency and perhaps during his life would JFK be asked to handle an event more challenging-and more potentially combustible-than the Cuban Missile Crisis."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer examines President John F. Kennedy's decision-making during the Cuban missile crisis of 1962. The writer provides a background of the crisis. In the article, the writer discusses dealings between Kennedy and Soviet leader, Khrushchev. The writer also covers the outcome of the crisis.

From the Paper
"The Cuban Missile Crisis occurred in October when the Soviet Union under the leadership of Premier Nikita Khrushchev began placing offensive ballistic missiles in Cuba, just miles off the U. S. coast. Traditionally, historians have contended that Khrushchev began placing the missiles in Cuba from a position of strength, intended to defy a weak foe, President John F. Kennedy. They emphasized the apparent resolve Kennedy showed in dealing with Khrushchev, essentially portraying Kennedy as a man who finally became presidential during ... "

Abstract
This paper indicates that there were serious intelligence concerns in both the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban missile crisis with negative results for both the American and Cuban people and that led to further problems with the Cold War and other relationships. Next, the author reviews the Bay of Pigs invasion, the Cuban missile crisis and the role of the Cold War in Cuban intelligence. The paper does conclude that, despite mistakes made, in general, intelligence did prevent Cuba from having Soviet-built missiles. This paper has end notes instead of a bibliography.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"In 1961, the Bay of Pigs invasion was designed to overthrow the Cuban government, led by Fidel Castro . A force of American immigrants who had been exiled from Cuba and trained by the US was used in that attempt. The attempt was unsuccessful, and the immigrants were supposed to invade southwest Cuba . They were given help by the US Air Force. The invasion planning had begun in 1960, and the funding for it began at that time, as well. However, the actual invasion was not carried out until April of the next year .
The way that the invasion was planned relied heavily on intelligence. A battalion of people cannot just go into a country and try to overthrow it without some planning. They have to have some idea of what they are doing and why they are doing it, and they also need to know what tactics should be employed, where the best place to strike can be found, and where to locate any other people who they might be looking for. These kinds of things are what intelligence is for and one of the main reasons behind it. However, getting that intelligence - and getting it correctly - can be a serious issue for a lot of countries both during war time and when things are mostly peaceful.

Abstract
This paper is about the cultural and political dynamics of Cuban-American identity. It discusses the difference between exile status and ethnic Cuban identity, manifested in the different self-conceptions of the several waves of Cuban exiles since the 1959 revolution. The paper particularly emphasizes the works of two Cuban-American artists, Cristina Garcia and Ana Mendieta, whose works demonstrate the tensions in the Cuban community between nostalgia and self-examination.
