  Dear supporters of Cubans seeking to exercise their freedom to read, &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;This is the quarterly appeal -- with some recent news items at the end &lt;br&gt; -- for Cuba&#39;s library prisoners during for year’s Human Rights Day &lt;br&gt; (December 10). Again, in light of the economic downturn, this one may &lt;br&gt; be sent with only a 44-cent stamp. Simply copy this web page and
