	Yes, Marquez DID get the Nobel for literature some years ago.
Less well-known is that the State Department has refused to give him
a visitor's visa, citing probable ties to violent left-wing groups
in Latin America (i.e., those trying to bring down regimes that the U.S.
props up.)

	I guess the USSR is the nation that throws out Nobel Laureates,
and the U.S. is the one who won't let them in.  It's tough at the top.
