The electricity problem in Cuba
|
Summer’s searing temperatures getting you down? Just be glad you don’t live in Cuba where daily blackouts make it about impossible to beat this year’s record heat.

At first, the blackouts were tolerable, four hours twice a week. But by mid-month they had grown to daily six-hour ordeals.

Comandante Strikes Back - Fidel Castro opens his archives
|
Comandante Fidel Castro has always closely guarded his privacy against outsiders. Foreign reporters in Cuba will forever remember the furor over an article written in 1990 by Komsomolskaya Pravda correspondent Alexei Novikov, titled From Fidels Private Life, as a result of which the journalist was immediately ordered to leave Freedom Island. He was followed by correspondents from several Latin-American publications who had been tempted to quote from the juicy story.

Damage reports from Hurricane Dennis in Cuba
|
Hurricane Dennis spared the Cuban nickel, oil and tobacco industries as it roared across the island on Friday, but caused some damage to tourism and sugar and hit citrus and coffee hard, according to preliminary reports.
Power outages continued across much of the country on Monday, slowing economic activity, as damage to homes, social installations, warehouses and some factories was surveyed.
