farrago of nonsense contains one notion worth noticing: The Puerto Rican issue. Now just what might that be? There is. to be sure. a Puerto Rican problem in New York City. where some 300.000 recent immigrants have yet to be assimilated. There is also the problem of the few hundred Puerto Rican Nationalist fanatics like Lolita Lebron. and there is the problem of the racial prejudice which some mainlanders still harbor against any dark skin. a prejudice which is probably the root cause of the Nationalists political insanity. But Puerto Rico itselfthats no issue. It Is instead one of the few spots on the globe that all Americans can feel happy and hopeful about these days.
