...people around and under the Fidel-Raúl-Che triumvirate give anti-Communists no cause for comfort. Antonio Núñez Jiménez, chief of INRA's land redistribution program, once led the campaign for a Communist candidate for Congress, later wrote a Marxist Geography of Cuba that is now a standard textbook in Cuban schools. Another force is Celia Sánchez,* Castro's onetime Girl Friday in the hills, who offers a patient ear and a radicalism as woolly as Castro's own. Her apartment, where she keeps a freshly laundered shirt...
