Havana is blasting on 6 mhz as usual, haven't heard anything on

I'm surprised he has lasted this long...pretty tough old fart.

If this is a permanent changeover of power then maybe the U.S. can
find
the will to recognize that island nation off our shore and catch up
with the rest of the world.

Just think, if Castro had gotten that baseball contract
when he had wanted it, then the past 40+ years would
have been drastically different.
