...WEEKS, FIDEL CASTRO'S AIDES had been urging him to relax. Engaged in a one-year campaign to improve relations with various nations around the world, including the U.S., Cuba's President, now 69 years old, had been working too hard and traveling too much. So on Saturday, Feb. 24, he claims, he decided to take the day off. He retired to one of his Havana-area homes and began paging through My Truth, a book that tells how Mikhail Gorbachev, in opening the door to reform, failed to control dissent and wound up losing power. These days, Castro will...
Fernandez and Hernandez are pitchers, far better pitchers than Fidel Castro ever was, so good that they were national heroes in Cuba. As such, they were given certain entitlements. In the case of Fernandez, the best pitcher for Cuba during the past Olympics, the privileged life included a Moskvich car, immunity from food shortages, $5 a month in wages and closely guarded travel with the national team. Nobody was watching, though, when he slipped out of his motel in Millington, Tennessee, at 7 a.m. last July and got into a van that drove him to Miami...
CATHY BOOTH, Miami bureau chief, flew to Havana (via Nassau) for the exclusive interview she and assistant managing editor Joelle Attinger had with Fidel Castro after Cuba's shoot-down of rebel planes from the U.S. It was his fourth meeting in a year with TIME.

Fatigue is one word recent observers have pinned on the 69-year-old Castro, but last week, Booth says, "he looked fully invigorated...
Haitian dictator Raoul Cedras came far short of killing one, much less four, unarmed U.S. citizens, but the Clinton administration nonetheless saw fit to replace his regime by an American-backed government. The dictatorship of Fidel Castro has lasted more than 37 years and has repeatedly resorted to violence and oppression in terms similar to, and even harsher than, the deposed Haitian dictator's. Last week's actions are only Castro's most recent transgressions in a long line of human rights abuses that have resulted in over 300,000 deaths...
...media continue to ignore the violent history of Cuban-American anti-Castro exile groups. The failed Bay of Pigs invasion was their largest operation, but by no means their only attempt to undermine Fidel Castro and his government. With the aid of the CIA, the exiles sabotaged Cuban industry (oil refineries, chemical plants, sugar mills etc.) and attempted to assassinate Castro. These exiles engaged in terrorism within the United States as well. Actions such as bombing the Cuban Mission to the U.N. and attacking Cuban diplomats led the FBI to brand one Cuban exile group "the most dangerous terrorist organization...
