For some months now, TIME editors have been considering a cover story on Fidel Castro in the seventh year of his rule. Last week, as he delivered a strange harangue to his people that unintentionally revealed a lot about Red Cuba's trouble, the time seemed right to take another look at the frenetic dictator and his simmering island.

...least among victims of Fidel Castro's Communism are the many foreign creditors whose claims have been ignored or laughed at by the Cuban government. Some 4,000 claims - totaling well over $1 billion - are pending against Cuba. They have been filed mostly by big rubber, oil and sugar companies whose assets were grabbed by Castro. Their chances of collection? Under present conditions, exactly zero. The firms are blocked by the hoary doctrine of "sovereign immunity...
