Castro: We discussed it with Raul [Castro's brother and head of the Air Defense Forces] and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. We agreed that what happened on Jan. 9 and 13 cannot happen again. We gave the order to the head of the air force. On Saturday, [Brothers' planes] came twice. The San Antonio air base was on high alert. On the third pass, they scrambled and did their job. They shot the planes down. They are professionals. They did what they believe is the right thing. These are all people we trust, but I take responsibility for what...
This is the stage at which most people discover they are HIV-positive, thanks to an antibody test developed in 1984. Raul, 25, of East Los Angeles, learned he had the AIDS virus two months ago, after a sore throat sent him to a doctor. Like so many others who discover that they are HIV-positive at the earliest stages, Raul found it hard to believe he could have a life-threatening disease and still feel so healthy. "I've thought about it, but I just can't picture it happening to me," he says. "I think I'll probably...
There are many, however, who should be. Among them may be former President Salinas and his brother Raul. After Zedillo's election, both men fell into disgrace: Raul is now in jail near Mexico City and Carlos is living in self-imposed exile in Cuba.

Through a teardrop of ancient amber -- fossilized tree sap as hard as plastic and as translucent as glass -- the scientists beheld their quarry: a small stingless bee that shared the earth with giant mastodons. With sterile instruments and gloved hands, microbiologist Raul Cano and his student Monica Borucki proceeded with an improbable experiment. First they delicately extracted the bee's diminutive digestive tract. Then they placed the tissues in nutrient-rich broth. Within a week the mixture turned cloudy, a sign that bacterial spores, dormant inside the bee for 25 million to 40 million years, had suddenly, miraculously surged back...
...movie begins in 1980, during the so-called Mariel Boatlift, when Fidel Castro emptied his prisons of political prisoners, criminals, homosexuals and other undesirables and allowed them to go to Florida. Juan Raul Perez (Alfred Molina), a political prisoner, hasn't seen his wife Carmela in 20 years, ever since he sent her and their infant daughter to Miami. Memories of Carmela and his daughter kept him alive during his imprisonment, and he desperately looks forward to the reunion. Dorita Perez (Marisa Tomei), a young sugarcane worker, is obsessed with American popular culture, especially John Wayne and Elvis Presley...
