He was Francis Pym, 60, the man considered to be Thatcher's most serious rival for the party's leadership and a critic, however cautious, of her stringent economic policies. Wealthy, Eton- and Cambridge-educated and a descendant of the famed Puritan leader of the House of Commons during the 17th century English civil war, Pym had hoped for the Foreign Secretary post after the Conservative election victory of May 1979.

Cuba's epic economic inefficiencies are his pet peeve; and when he took the microphone last July 26 in Fidel's place, he gushed less about socialism's glories and railed more at the country's "deficiencies, errors and indolent bureaucratic attitudes." As a result, many expect one of his first major policy plays to be a wholesale reform of Cuban agriculture, which can't supply even staples like milk, with provisions like more profit-oriented farmers markets. That may well be followed by similar liberalization in service industries like tourism, where Cubans often make...
