...been 23 years since Fidel Castro, then a beardless young rebel of 30, set sail with a revolutionary band of 81 guerrillas from the Mexican port of Tuxpan for Cuba's Oriente province. Last week the hirsute Cuban leader returned to the land from which he had launched his successful revolt against the government of Fulgencio Batista. At the invitation of President José López Portillo, Castro made a 32-hour visit to the resort island of Cozumel, with a brief stop on the mainland.

...most recent blast came last month from London-based Amnesty International, which estimated that more than 3,000 dissidents are being held in Cuban jails and charged that "a substantial number of Cuban prisoners are now among the longest-serving political prisoners in the world today." As far as Fidel is concerned, his new offer would settle those issues. He claims that the amnesty would cover 80% of the political detainees in the country; the remainder would stay jailed for "serious" crimes, notably terrorism...
