For last week's celebration, there was no military parade, no troops and no tanks. "We do not want to waste a gallon of gas or lose a minute of work," Fidel explained to a million cheering Habaneros in the Plaza de la Revoluci...

We are a pastoral people, and we do not want our highland grazing areas taken from us by our agriculturist Bantu neighbors. We, too, are separated from our Masai brothers in Kenya by "an artificial and arbitrary boundary drawn years ago by the European colonialists." We want that boundary erased.
