What was novel back then, is typical now.

But, why would we deprive Barbara of her thrill?

Personally, admitting to doing Fidel would be much more noteworthy.


Some excerpts from the Oprah interview:

"
Winfrey asks Walters if she was in love.

"I was certainly -- I don't know -- I was certainly infatuated."

"Infatuated."

"I was certainly involved," Walters says. "He was exciting. He was brilliant. It was exciting times in Washington."
"


No doubt, it sounds about as REAL as one would want; BUT as exciting as Havana?
