We got it ready.” Henry nodded. He’d called the marina from the road only hours before. They’d been at a gas station in New Hampshire. “Fifty-fives in good condition are extremely rare, Mr. Garfield.” Henry liked that—the Mr. Garfield bit. He recalled this man addressing his father that way, with the same intonation, the same headdip of deference. I t was a beautiful little motorboat; Henry didn’t need anyone to tell him that. There it was, rocking gently in its marina slip, a 1955 Penn Yan wood-and-canvas Trailboat, fourteen feet, brass fittings, a short-planked deck, three gunwale-to-gunwale benches. Seeing it for the first time in nearly five years, Henry had a crisp vision of his dad sitting in the stern on a flotation cushion, his hand on the little two-stroke Mercury outboard—ordering him to the bow to get it to plane. As a boy Henry had liked to crawl onto a bed of life preservers beneath the deck and let the hard smack of the waves lull him to sleep. “She’s a beautiful little boat,” the marina man said again—the third time. “Yep,” Henry said. “In fact, I know some guys’d give their left, uh—” The plump, fiftyish man, the name “Ben” Worldly Goods","PeriodicalId":42372,"journal":{"name":"VIRGINIA QUARTERLY REVIEW","volume":"2 1","pages":"158 - 169"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2015-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81375116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For those in the food and agricultural sectors, however, Cuba has long been within reach. Cuba is one of five countries—including Iran, Sudan, Syria, and North Korea— against which the US has levied the most comprehensive economic sanctions. These embargoes include bans on almost all financial transactions and means of trade, with obvious precautionary targets such as arms, chemicals, and nuclear materials. Humanitarian exemptions for the donation of food and agricultural products have been written into these policies. The Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancment Act, passed by President Bill Clinton in 2000, created similar exceptions for these goods. Even with these economic restraints, millions of dollars of exports have been sent from US companies to embargoed nations. Obtaining a license from the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control is the only prerequisite. Predictably, demand for these exceptions has spurred its own sub-industry of consulting and law firms that assist companies in obtaining these licenses. Here we explore some of the more significant agricultural and food exports to embargoed countries. —Alice Donaldson Food Diplomacy TOP TEN US EXPORTS TO EMBARGOED NATIONS IN 2014 in millions of US dollars","PeriodicalId":42372,"journal":{"name":"VIRGINIA QUARTERLY REVIEW","volume":"26 1","pages":"22 - 23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2015-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88204328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
