The remarkable story of how a teenager rescued from Castro’sCuba rose to become a United States senator The swift and improbable rise of Mel Martinez to the top echelonof America’s government began not with a political race but with aburst of gunfire. In April 1958, an eleven-year-old Martinezhuddled on his bedroom floor while Cuban soldiers opened fire oninsurgents outside his family’s home in the town of Sagua laGrande. If political unrest made daily life disturbing and at timesfrightening, Fidel Castro’s Communist Revolution nine months laterwas nothing short of devastating. When armed militiamen shoutedviolent threats at Martinez for wearing a medallion as a sign ofhis Catholic faith, his parents made a heartrending decision: theirson would have to escape the Castro regime–alone.

In this companion to their upcoming PBS series, Dobyns and Crawford-Mason survey "continuous improvement" programs in America's private and public sectors. They note that organizations have shifted away "from a focus on technical aspects . . . to a focus on the complete interface between . . . a business and its customers."

The authors also subject the much-ballyhooed Baldrige Quality Award to some needed scrutiny. Several companies described (Motorola, Federal Express) have been treated elsewhere, and readers must wade through tedious recitations by top managers. However, a visit to Mount Edgecumbe High School in Alaska adds some perspective on the educational realm's quality movements. While general readers will gain a useful overview of the U.S. push to regain international competitiveness, there are few new revelations. An optional purchase for business
