embroidered on his work shirt, glanced at Sophie, who was staring at the rack of new waterskis inside the shop as if trying to divine their purpose. “Their left leg to buy it off you.” “Is that right?” “I could get you a tidy little bidding war.” “It’s all set?” “Like to have a day or two warning, but yeah. We got it ready.” Henry nodded. He’d called the marina from the road only hours before. They’d been at a gas station in New Hampshire. “Fifty-fives in good condition are extremely rare, Mr. Garfield.” Henry liked that—the Mr. Garfield bit. He recalled this man addressing his father that way, with the same intonation, the same headdip of deference. I t was a beautiful little motorboat; Henry didn’t need anyone to tell him that. There it was, rocking gently in its marina slip, a 1955 Penn Yan wood-and-canvas Trailboat, fourteen feet, brass fittings, a short-planked deck, three gunwale-to-gunwale benches. Seeing it for the first time in nearly five years, Henry had a crisp vision of his dad sitting in the stern on a flotation cushion, his hand on the little two-stroke Mercury outboard—ordering him to the bow to get it to plane. As a boy Henry had liked to crawl onto a bed of life preservers beneath the deck and let the hard smack of the waves lull him to sleep. “She’s a beautiful little boat,” the marina man said again—the third time. “Yep,” Henry said. “In fact, I know some guys’d give their left, uh—” The plump, fiftyish man, the name “Ben” Worldly Goods

P resident Barack Obama’s decision to reinstate diplomatic relations with Cuba was met with mixed reactions politically but launched a frenzy in the private sector for US companies seeking to stake a claim on a potentially lucrative new market. For those in the food and agricultural sectors, however, Cuba has long been within reach. Cuba is one of five countries—including Iran, Sudan, Syria, and North Korea— against which the US has levied the most comprehensive economic sanctions. These embargoes include bans on almost all financial transactions and means of trade, with obvious precautionary targets such as arms, chemicals, and nuclear materials. Humanitarian exemptions for the donation of food and agricultural products have been written into these policies. The Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancment Act, passed by President Bill Clinton in 2000, created similar exceptions for these goods. Even with these economic restraints, millions of dollars of exports have been sent from US companies to embargoed nations. Obtaining a license from the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control is the only prerequisite. Predictably, demand for these exceptions has spurred its own sub-industry of consulting and law firms that assist companies in obtaining these licenses. Here we explore some of the more significant agricultural and food exports to embargoed countries. —Alice Donaldson Food Diplomacy TOP TEN US EXPORTS TO EMBARGOED NATIONS IN 2014 in millions of US dollars
美国总统巴拉克•奥巴马(Barack Obama)与古巴恢复外交关系的决定，在政治上引发了不同反应，但在私营部门掀起了一股热潮，美国企业纷纷寻求在这个潜在利润丰厚的新市场占有一席之地。然而，对于粮食和农业部门的人来说，古巴早已触手可及。古巴是美国对伊朗、苏丹、叙利亚和朝鲜等五个国家实施最全面经济制裁的国家之一。这些禁运包括对几乎所有金融交易和贸易手段的禁令，明显的预防目标是武器、化学品和核材料。人道主义豁免捐赠粮食和农产品已写入这些政策。比尔·克林顿(Bill Clinton)总统在2000年通过的《贸易制裁改革和出口促进法案》(Trade Sanctions Reform and Export enhanced Act)也为这些商品制定了类似的例外规定。即使有了这些经济限制，美国公司仍向禁运国家出口了数百万美元的产品。获得财政部外国资产控制办公室(Office of Foreign Assets Control)的许可是唯一的先决条件。可以预见的是，对这些例外的需求刺激了咨询公司和律师事务所的子行业，帮助公司获得这些许可证。在这里，我们探讨了一些对禁运国家更重要的农业和食品出口。——alice Donaldson食品外交:2014年美国对禁运国家出口额排名前十，价值数百万美元
