Costa Rica Loses to Mexico: 2-1
A disastrous first half of
errors by Costa Rica led to two
early goals for Mexico, which
did not seem to be affected by
the artificial turf in the
eventual 2-1 victory. For the
first time in 46 years Mexico
was able to beat Costa Rica on
it's own turf, artificial or
otherwise.

ENVIRONMENT-CUBA:
Fish
Return to Havana Bay
''I want a clean and healthy
bay, with many pelicans feeding
in its waters,'' says María
Luisa Pérez, voicing a dream
that many residents in the Cuban
capital have for Havana Bay,
which at the end of the 20th
century was still one of the
most polluted in the world.
It may no longer be a fantasy,
judging by the return of the
enormous deep-billed birds
searching for their daily
sustenance in the bay's waters.
''If the pelicans are coming
around, that's because there are
fish,'' says another Havana
resident, Manuel, as he prepares
his fishing gear to try his luck
in spot along the coast where he
can see boats approach the port.
Manuel says he fishes only
occasionally, but not far from
him is Yosvani, who has arranged
his fishing tackle, and says he
comes here daily and usually
catches horse mackerel (Trachurus
trachurus¡) and 'sábalos' (familia
Megalopidae), among other types.
