The October 1983 crisis in Grenada left little doubt that the Soviet and Cuban presence had been expanding in the Caribbean basin. But the October crisis did not answer questions regarding the extent of their actual influence there, nor the direction it might take in the future, nor even what the most appropriate U.S. policy responses should be to that influence elsewhere in the region. Therefore, in the wake of the U.S. occupation of Grenada and the evidence it uncovered about the degree of Soviet and Cuban activity there, it is useful to examine the kind of situations that have encouraged the Soviets to expand their presence and/or influence in Latin America. At the same time, it equally is useful to examine the limitations or constraints on such an expanded presence or influence.Clearly, Soviet policy in Latin America has been the product of two conflicting forces or tendencies.

Last November nearly two thousand conferees from the United States and twenty-six Caribbean nations gathered in that most Caribbean of all cities, Miami. The occasion was the annual conference on trade, investment, and development in the Caribbean Basin—die seventh such conference to date. This year, however, there was a difference. President Reagan had announced his Caribbean Basin Initiative in February of 1982 at a meeting of the Organization of American States; and on August 5, 1983, following often delicate negotiations with Congress and a score of governments, the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act became law.

Editing in a bilingual, bicultural environment involves many of the same problems and frustrations as editing in a monolingual environment; however, the bilingual, bicultural environment often exacerbates these problems. Editing is further complicated by linguistic interference among the author's languages. Finally, culturally conditioned attitudes toward the duties and responsibilities of the editor create areas of potential conflicts between editor and author. If technical participation of non-native English speakers is to increase, as hoped for in such endeavors as President Reagan's policy of the Caribbean Basin Initiative, editors must be sensitive toward those problems in such complicated circumstances.
