Whether Castro anticipated what would happen after he suspended the Costa Rican mercy flights is unclear. What is certain is that he took full advantage of what began as a long-shot attempt by several Cubans now living in Miami to fetch some relatives and embassy refugees by boat.

"We can see the day when a single photograph will fetch $100,000," says Philippe Garner, a Sotheby's photographic expert.
