This may not seem to be the most stirring spiritual testimony on record--but consider the source. The words are those of Cuban President Fidel Castro, whose Communist regime has expelled bishops and priests, eliminated church schools, made it difficult for practicing Christians to get government jobs and even discouraged the observance of Christmas because it impeded the sugar- cane harvest. Pronouncements on faith, however, surface regularly in Fidel and Religion: Conversations with Friar Betto, just published in Cuba with Castro's own imprimatur. It is proving to be an instant hit: when the 379-page volume went on sale...
...alleged former Communist guerrillas surrendered to the government and 3,000 purported sympathizers swore allegiance to him. The Administration's Armitage, on the other hand, last week put the rebel ranks closer to 16,500. In addition, military unity has begun to fray.

The agency believes that Gerena fled to Cuba with much of the Wells Fargo booty. Ojenda-Rios is also thought to have worked closely with Cuba's intelligence agency: in San Juan, his nickname is G-2 Cubano...
...raised Communist eyebrows in Havana and furnished gossip items for the capitalist press. But the deal is apparently in the works: Fidel Castro, 59, will reportedly receive $2.5 million from the U.S. publisher Simon & Schuster for three books. The first volume would include his 1979 speeches to the United Nations and his views on Latin America's debt, the second his thoughts on religion and Marxism, and the third his memoirs. Questions remain, however, about whether el jefe maximo will ever receive his fee. Last November the Treasury Department issued a license to Simon & Schuster allowing it to sign...
