WASHINGTON, D.C.: The Clinton Administration is counting on the press to do what the U.S. government has been unable to do for decades: bring down Fidel Castro. As part of its continuing effort to flood Cuba with information, and spur democratic reforms in the process, the Administration is set to allow the U.S. press to set up news bureaus in the country for the first time since the 1960s. CNN will be the first to begin reporting on a full-time basis from Cuba. So far it is the only one of 10 applicants that Castro's government has approved...
WASHINGTON: Cuba can expect billions of dollars in international aid once Fidel Castro finally leaves office and the Caribbean island becomes democratic, according to a new Clinton administration report.

The trip has raised concerns in Washington, which shuns any contact with Havana and criticized Canada for rewarding the dictator. Yet Canada has long had a special relationship with Cuba. It is the biggest foreign investor on the island, trading to the tune of $500 million last year. Axworthy...
Some political players emphasize this tough, aggressive and hardline approach to world politics as somehow masculine. Referring to Albright's attack on Fidel Castro, one former State Department diplomat explained that "we have a Secretary of State with cojones." (If you don't know this word, ask someone who speaks Spanish.) No, Madeleine Albright is not afraid to break her nails. She is not introducing a stereotypically feminine or pacifist influence in foreign affairs. Yes, Albright can play hardball just like the boys...
