Cuban Leaders: Castro Is Not Dead
|
Cuban leaders are strongly denying the rumors going around South Florida that their leader is dead.
Rumors of Castro's death are running rampant in Miami, and their frequency has intensified recently, as Castro's 81st birthday came and went Aug. 13 without any pictures, letters, or recordings from him.
The rumors went into overdrive Friday at a meeting of local officials who were going over their plans for when Castro really dies.
A road closure in the Florida Keys furthered the speculation, but it was actually caused by a police standoff.

A year without Fidel
|
When Fidel Castro last appeared in public one year ago Thursday, he enthusiastically led about 100,000 Communist Party faithful in celebrating the audacious attack on an army barracks that launched his revolution.
These days, the convalescing 80-year-old seems to be in vigilant semiretirement.

Recovering Cuban leader now writing for posterity
|
Nearly a year since he last stood before a throng of thousands for one of his usual hourslong speeches, Fidel Castro has found something to replace his podium: his pen.
Castro has written more than a dozen articles in the past two months, in what experts view as a move to position himself as an ombudsman of world affairs. More than half of his essays take on global energy issues such as ethanol, but they never tackle Cuba's myriad domestic problems.
Others have been reflective or even melancholic. Some meander in incoherent directions.

Closest CIA bid to kill Castro was poisoned drink
|
The closest the CIA came to killing Cuba's Fidel Castro was a 1963 attempt with a poison pill delivered by American mobsters that was to be slipped into a chocolate milkshake, a former Cuban intelligence chief said.
But the capsule stuck to the freezer where it was hidden in the cafeteria of the Havana Libre (ex Hilton) Hotel and ripped open when the would-be assassin waiter went to get the poison.
