Cuba's communist government, by contrast, has survived 35 years of U.S. hostility and the collapse of its longtime patron, the Soviet Union. Despite growing anger and privation among Cubans, Castro retains a degree of popular support -- and a big, well-armed military force that makes a U.S. invasion too bloody to contemplate...

At his day-care center, which lacks books and toys, there is no Mercurochrome for skinned knees. "All the children have colds," Ana explains.
