"If we have to wait for the collapse of the (capitalist) system, we will wait," Castro wrote.

Hell will never freeze over, Fidel...as I'm pretty sure you'll be able to report first-hand any day now...

"is seen as a Stalinist tyrant by his enemies but is widely admired in the Third World for standing up to the United States, a David-versus-Goliath role he has relished."

Wonder which the reporter admires more: Stalinist tyrant or standing up to the United States?

BTW Castro is not "seen as" a tyrant. I think we can safely place the 50 year rule of a dictator for life in the column under "tyrant".

"If we have to wait for the collapse of the (capitalist) system, we will wait," Castro wrote. Sounds good.

If we stopped sending them checks, the lease would be null & void and Castro could take the territory back. Besides, $50K a year rent for a naval base is chicken feed.

Dear Senor Castro,

I will be most happy to take those checks off your hands. Just sign the back and send them to me soon.

Most obliged,

No-Show Castro

".. In the past few weeks he (Castro) has been operated on more than once to stop what appeared likely to progress to fatal septicemia. These same sources say the leader has lost much weight, that he does not want to walk or receive visitors.".."
