...Havana on a permanent basis poses problems. But it can be done, as we learned time and again in the 4½ years since our last resident correspondent was compelled to leave. For some months now, TIME editors have been considering a cover story on Fidel Castro in the seventh year of his rule. Last week, as he delivered a strange harangue to his people that unintentionally revealed a lot about Red Cuba's trouble, the time seemed right to take another look at the frenetic dictator and his simmering island. Castro's speech, incidentally, included a derisive...
This is TIME's fifth cover story on post-Castro Cuba* and our second on Fidel since he came down from the hills and took over on the first day of 1959. In reporting this cover, as it happened, we did have a correspondent in Cuba-for a while. He is Gavin Scott, Canadian-born, Spanish-speaking chief of our Buenos Aires bureau, just back from his third visit to the island since 1962.

Their every need is supplied by a fleet of rebel-operated "fishing" boats-which make regular runs across Lake Tanganyika between Fizi and Kigoma...
...Castro Is No Exception. State Department officials recognize the inconsistency of the present doctrine and its sour aspects when applied to the likes of Castro. They maintain, however, that it works well with friendly countries, which voluntarily pay judgments against them. Says State Department Lawyer Carl Salano: "We believe that the U.S. should not deviate from adherence to domestic and international law just because certain other countries, such as Castro's Cuba, do so." But the doctrine appears ripe for further revision. Switzerland and Italy have dropped all immunity for certain types of commercial activity. Some State Department insiders...
