Cubans on patrol for smugglers
|
On a calm weather day, with blue skies and a flat sea, a Cuban Border Guard patrol boat made its way along the coastline near the capitol city.
Increasingly, the mission for the officers and crew aboard this vessel is to try to stop the hundreds of smugglers who come here illegally from Florida each year to pick up thousands of Cuban passengers and sneak them into the United States, often through Mexico.

Cubans wonder where their Web access went
|
At a government-run Internet cafe inside a Havana post office, the 1,942 Cubans signed up to use the computers were left with a question this summer: Why had the government abruptly cut their Internet access, leaving them only with e-mail on a state account?
At this and three other public centers in Havana no longer on the Web, managers and clientele could only speculate why:
Did demand exceed the woeful infrastructure? Or was it the latest example of information control in the communist nation, as Internet rumors abound about Fidel Castro's illness and prognosis? Did the communications minister make good on a February pronouncement that the Internet "can and must be controlled"?

Long-absent Castro speaks live on TV
|
Cubans heard their ailing President Fidel Castro joking and chattering as he spoke live for the first time in months on a television show hosted by his Venezuelan ally Hugo Chavez.
In his first live broadcast in Cuba since he was sidelined by an unspecified illness 15 months ago, Castro spoke by telephone for an hour and 22 minutes on a variety of topics, including the state of his health and the challenges of life in the shadow of the United States.

Fidel Castro stays silent on health, but not U.S.
|
A new newspaper column signed by Fidel Castro and published Thursday again attacks U.S. policies toward the island but does not address his health.
Foreign Minister Felipe Pérez Roque told journalists in Brazil on Thursday that the 81-year-old Castro is determined to fully recover from intestinal surgery last year that forced him to cede power to his brother Raúl.
''Fidel is doing very well and is disciplined in his recovery process,'' Pérez Roque said.
