Thanks for the Intervention

■ Six years after the U.S. rescue mission, Ronald Reagan remains the most popular man in Grenada. Taxidrivers, vendors, market traders are all happy to tell their particular horror story of the “revo” and recall their relief at the arrival of U.S. forces. Of course, life has moved on, and there was only a moderate turnout at this year’s anniversary celebration. But since the most common anti-American complaint is that there is no visa office at the new U.S. Embassy, serious disillusionment with Uncle Sam is some way off.
