Eh, what happened is they probably ran a spell check program that had Caiman (a type of alligator/crocodile) in the database and it ended up getting changed to that.)

If they needed relief supplies—would we send them?

'Guess we would.

Maybe include some radios that could receive only Radio Marti?

According to Cuban state radio, Castro was bench pressing 475 pounds and just set the weights down a little too hard, that's all.
