[Q]: Nelson DeMilleâs new novel  The Cuban Affair  takes us on a hard-hitting adventure through modern-day Cuba and makes some memorable points about todayâs tense political situation along the way. DeMille has an incredible gift for perfectly capturing a characterâs voice and unique personality. His protagonist in The Cuban Affair is 35-year-old former US Army infantry officer Daniel Graham MacCormick  or Mac for short.
Originally from Portland  Maine  we meet  Mac  once  he âs become a charter fishing boat captain in Key West  Florida. We never fully hear about  Mac âs tour in Afghanistan except for some traumatic combat memories  but weâre told  he  has a Silver Star  two Purple Hearts  and shrapnel wounds  so DeMille makes it clear that  Mac  saw heavy action.
DeMille reintroduces Mac into some abrupt  heart-racing action in The Cuban Affair. The story is told from the first-person point of view and is an action-packed  rollicking tale. After heâs approached by a group of mysterious Cuban expats in Key West   Mac  gets talked into a top-secret mission to recover $60 million in U.S. cash and property deeds from a cave in Cuba that were hidden during Castroâs violent overthrow of Fulgencio Batista in 1959.
 Mac  feels like thereâs something fishy about the whole operation  but eventually signs on  enticed in part by a beautiful Cuban-American woman  Sara  who will be his partner for the mission. DeMille showcases his humor throughout the book  such as when Sara is talking  Mac  into accepting the mission. Theyâre out on  Mac âs charter boat and Sara tries to appeal to his sense of adventure and his sense of right and wrong  with mixed results:
âDonât talk yourself out of this   Mac . Thereâs a sayingââ Iâd rather regret the things I did than the things I didnât do.â â
 Mac   of course  ends up taking on the mission and getting  himself  in hot water after traveling to Cuba under the cover of a Yale educational tour then breaking away to get the hidden money. Things donât go as planned and the book ends up taking a few sharp zigs and zags as it rockets to its conclusion  but this refreshing  zany  and cynical sense of humor is a great recurring feature throughout the book.
Demille also doesnât shy away from the hard topics. Heâs uncompromising in his look at the sadness of modern Cuba and the empty rhetoric of its socialist revolution.  Mac  doesnât really care about what happened in Cuba and comes across as basically apolitical: He just wants to get the money and the girl.
There are complications  naturally. The money is buried in a rural cave in a heavily armed police state full of citizen informants and the girl has a boyfriend. Nonetheless  despite his focus on the basics and disinterest in politics   even Mac  starts to feel disillusioned after arriving in Havana and looking around at the state of things. âRevolutions usually replace one group of incompetent autocratic assholes with another  and the real losers are everyone else  â Mac  ponders at one point.
When  he  finds out about the food situation in Cuba itâs even more sobering. Sara explains to  him  that Cuba is basically half starving as they look around an organic farm:
Even as Sara and Mac traverse Cuba and get into big trouble  DeMille keeps the laughs coming. Itâs quite funny that DeMille puts a character called Richard Neville (clearly a humorous stand-in for himself) into the book. Neville is a bestselling adventure author traveling with  Mac âs tour group in Cuba to research a book and Mac notices Nevilleâs highly attractive wife (a real âlookerâ). Not believing she could really be into the grouchy writer   Mac  surmises she must be attracted to Neville for âthe bulge in his pants â his wallet  not his crotch.â
Neville and  Mac  also have a bit of a rivalry for Sara and a competing inside joke about Ernest Hemingway that is hilarious. As Neville takes photos in front of Hemingwayâs house in Cuba:
As  Mac  and Sara work to get the money they run into a citizen informer  or chivato. He tries to buy them off in return for his silence that he suspects they are up to funny business and explains how things really work in the Communist paradise:
In another part  Mac  and Sara walk through the nicest neighborhood of Havana and are shocked at what they see  which is outright hypocrisy:
In the end  The Cuban Affair manages to combine just the right amount of sassy and sad. It doesnât focus all on doom and gloom  nor does it pretend that everything is merely a joke. At its most profound âteachable moment â  Mac  concludes that life is messy and the truth about humanity lies somewhere in between optimism and blackpill nihilism.  He  concludes that human affairs are complex and paradoxical  alternately bringing out the best and worst in different individuals.
In  his  acknowledgements  DeMille mentions that  he  did personally go on a Yale educational tour of Cuba to prepare for the bookâRichard Neville  indeed.  He  also thanks various friends  family  and colleagues who helped and advised  him  on the book. One is especially telling  because it shows that this book comes from the source:
Iâd like to thank a man who I met in Cuba  and who gave it to  me  straight about contemporary Cuban politics  culture  and life. He wishes to remain anonymous for obvious reasons  but heâs given himself the code name âLola.â Thank you  Lola  wherever you are  and take care.

[Q]: The wait is over for  Erik Gustafsson .
 Gustafsson  played Saturday night against the Islanders   his  first game on the ice in a Hawks sweater since  he  was recalled from Rockford on Jan. 9.
 He  made  his  presence felt early  getting credit for the primary assist on Patrick Kaneâs goal all of 1 minute  1 second into the game.
Attached to the opportunity   his  first in the NHL since  he  played 41 games and registered 14 assists with the Hawks in 2015-16  are expectations and hopes that  he  can become a regular part of the rotation.
The 25-year-old said  he  planned to make every minute of ice time count.
âI want to play every game and help the team make the playoffs â  he  said before Saturdayâs game. âIf it's 10 or 20 minutes today  we'll just see. I'll do my best and we'll see what happens.â
What  Gustafsson  saw next to  him  in  his  first NHL game since April 9  2016  was a familiar face in Brent Seabrook.
The two played 296 minutes over 35 games together two seasons ago  by far the most ice time  Gustafsson  spent with any teammate.
â He  came with a good attitude  wanted to get back here and had a good stretch in the minors â Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. âGives us some offense on the back end  likes to join in  likes to jump into it. Defensively  he âs been fine as well.â
One-timers: Center Artem Anisimov  who practiced Friday for the first time since  he  was placed on injured reserve Dec. 29 with an upper-body injury  did not play Saturday but could return Monday against the Lightning.  He  has 13 goals and five assists in 36 games. â¦ Patrick Kane is the only Hawk selected to play in the All-Star Game  but he wonât be the only Hawk going to the Jan. 28 game in Tampa  Fla. Head trainer Mike Gapski and assistant trainer Jeff Thomas were selected to be on the training staff for the game.

[Q]: The two have entered a partnership designed to allow Ford's vehicles to communicate with the ride-sharing company's app  said  Sherif Marakby  Ford's vice president for autonomous vehicles and electrification  who worked briefly at Lyft's rival Uber .
 He  told Reuters that Ford planned to eventually deploy "thousands" of self-driving cars.
 Marakby  explained in a blog post: "Think of  it  this way: Someday  when you open the Lyft app during a period of high demand  Ford and Lyft software will need to be capable of quickly dispatching a self-driving vehicle so that you can get to your destination as quickly and as safely as possible."
The companies will work together to figure out which cities are best for the self-driving rollout and what kind of infrastructure is needed to make it work  Marakby said.
