Among Rodriguez’s favorite activities is driving to Revere Beach and speeding down the Bunker Hill Bridge to test the promised acceleration of 0 to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds. The prospect of accidents, however, limits Rodriguez to the speed limit. “People are in front of you all the time,” he says of other motorists, “but it’s probably a good thing because I’d go crazy.” Rodriguez instead satiates his need for speed by blasting soundtracks from his convertible while trying...
...summer, the only times Castro’s made real concessions on emigration and liberalization in the past 44 years have been when a mixture of domestic economic turmoil and American pressure forced him to.

In the wee hours of the morning, when the networks stop bouncing from one correspondent to the next, the coverage nestles in with one little slice of the war—a single camera, even—and lets you watch a live stream, uncut and unproduced...
