You never know what you are going to find on the $2 rack of your local used bookstore. Last week I found a water damaged copy of the autobiography of former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards. The book is boring, but one thing that does jump out is her bizarre story about meeting Cuban Communist dictator Fidel Castro.
As recounted in Make Trouble: Standing Up, Speaking Out, and Finding the Courage to Lead (co-authored with Lauren Peterson), Ann Richards, Cecile’s mother and former governor of Texas, was invited to go to Mexico at the invitation of Mexican president Carlos Salinas. The occasion was the inauguration of a new president, Ernesto Zedillo, and Salinas was inviting many of his friends, including Fidel Castro. Cecile Richards convinced her mother to let her come along.
