...point out with an edge in their voices that nobody printed the ballots in Yiddish for their ancestors when they came to America. The Jews in South Florida cast about 20 per cent of the area's votes, and there is widespread hostility toward the Cubans from this powerful group. That especially startles the Latins, who point out that it was not so long ago that signs outside of Florida hotels reading "No dogs, no Jews allowed" were still standing. Even today there are restricted clubs on Miami Beach, the bastion of Florida Judaism...

But McKinney did not like what the Gannett Co., the nation's largest newspaper group (82 dailies with a combined circ. of 3.5 million), was doing to his Santa Fe New Mexican (circ. 17,960). So he sued to get it back, and last week he won. Federal District Judge Santiago Campos ordered Gannett to return the New Mexican after a six-member jury ruled that the chain had breached an employment contract McKinney signed when he sold...
