Suddenly, Fidel Castro, until now Cuba's Maximum Leader and self-declared No. 1 Marxist, had lashed out publicly at the island's official Communist Party and had posed a fascinating question: Who is the real boss in Cuba-Castro, who takes orders only from himself, or the Communist Party's old-line professionals, who get their instructions from Moscow?

But Castro, who considers himself as much messiah as Marxist, refused to go quietly-and so did his wispy-mustached little brother Raúl. On Feb. 19, according to reports reaching Miami exiles, Raul shot and seriously wounded a party leader in Oriente province in an argument over who was boss...
