Premieres of new “Cinderellas” followed at the approximate rate of one per decade, boasting such marquee names as Michael Fokine, Konstantin Sergeyev, Frederick Ashton, and Rudolf Nureyev, with orchestrations by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Johann Strauss, and Sergei Prokofiev.

The University of Miami's Pinon says the more serious issue is refining capacity: even if Cuba has only the low estimate of 5 billion bbl. - which could yield more than 300,000 BPD - it needs Venezuela's investment to upgrade refineries like the Soviet-built plant at Cienfuegos. But plummeting crude prices mean that Chávez may have a lot less...
