...welcome one for Harvard students, who have been unable to study in Cuba since the Bush administration tightened its travel restrictions in 2004.The prospect of change in Cuba—presaged by Cuban President Fidel Castro’s delegating power to his brother, Raul, this past summer??makes this opportunity all the more timely. Harvard students can serve as cultural and ideological ambassadors to a country that has had only minimal contact with the U.S. in the past 45 years.
