In March of 1959, Charles Van Doren was a name that stirred deep emotions in the people of America.

Van Doren was a likeable young man who had made the cover of TIME magazine as the star of something relatively new in American culture — a television quiz show.

Charlie came from a distinguished family. He was the son of Mark Van Doren, a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, and nephew of Carl Van Doren, a great historian. Charles Van Doren himself was an outstanding academic, having studied at the Sorbonne and at Columbia. He became a professor of English.

Following a long bout of silence and after refusing to meet with Obama, Fidel has finally decided to speak out on the president's historic visit to Cuba. He says he is not a happy camper and does not want any gifts.

We can only wonder why after they invited the US President, then pull out the Castro welcome mat?
