I write this (after 0300 UTC 10/24), Radio Marti is carrying Game 5 of
the World Series between the Cleveland Indians and the Florida Marlins.
The main reason behind this is that a former star pitcher of the Cuban

Marlins. TV Marti was being jammed by the Cuban government, but Radio
Marti was getting through, according to sources at NBC-TV. ---BUENEMAN,
