I guess we can't break the law unless a good smoke is at stake...

In a Feb. 13 New York Times piece, Charlie LeDuff related the following conversation between Schwarzenegger and James Cameron, who directed the first two Terminator movies:
Mr. Cameron asked him how governing was going. "They're really shaken up up there," he said of Sacramento. "It's a trip. You should see it." He talked about the art of compromise, popularity polls, special interests, prison investigations and the atrium outside his Sacramento office, where he is able to smoke his Cuban cigars?20 feet from the entrance as state law requires. "A lot of business gets done there," he said. "Who doesn't like a good stogie?"
In congratulating Schwarzenegger for scrupulously obeying California's anti-smoking law, LeDuff neglected to note that Schwarzenegger's apparent ownership of Cuban cigars violates the Cuban Assets Control Regulations issued in 1963 (under the Trading With the Enemy Act) by the governor's most famous in-law. The prohibition was subsequently reaffirmed by statute in 1996. You'll find the relevant laws and regulations here.
