US to Ease Travel Rules to Cuba
-------------------------------



The New York Times reports the Obama administration will soon issue new
rules on Cuba that will make it easier for American academic, religious
and cultural groups to visit the island nation. In addition, the
administration is planning to allow flights to Cuba from more cities
than the three—Miami, New York and Los Angeles—currently
permitted. While travel restrictions are being eased, the Obama
administration plans to leave intact the decades-old embargo on Cuba.
