- <p> Being a State Department bureaucrat has its occasional
- unexpected rewards, including a chance recently to rain on Ted
- Turner's parade. The flamboyant entrepreneur and cable mogul
- wanted State to issue a visa to Jose Ramon Fernandez, the Cuban
- Vice President who oversees athletic development and
- competition, so that the official could accompany Cuba's
- delegation to the Goodwill Games in Seattle. No dice. A
- presidential directive bars Cuban Communist Party members from
- traveling to the U.S. for anything other than official business.
- The Goodwill Games, which have been plugged so insistently on
- Turner's TV outlets that some are calling them the Goodshill
- Games, do not qualify. "This is not a legitimate athletic
- competition," says an Administration official. "It's a Turner
- business promo. Why the hell should we do him any favors?"
