Castro's true motives for Ochoa's unceremonious ouster may eventually become clear. In the meantime, Cubans are watching Granma for the next twist, and the Bush Administration is proceeding with caution. Last week the President told the Miami Herald that Cuba would have to do "much more" to improve ties with the U.S. Meanwhile, there were reports that planes continue to smuggle drugs over Cuba, making a mockery of a recent pledge by Cuban officials to shoot down unauthorized planes violating its airspace on the grounds that they were probably carrying drugs...

The massive beast puts on the brakes just short of a six-bar iron fence that separates man and animal. With a deft twist of his heavy, pointed lips, Macho plucks a slice of apple from Bentsen's hand. Bentsen reaches through the bars to scratch the leathery muzzle. Rhinos are slow-witted, almost childlike creatures that when startled tend to charge first and ask questions later. But once it knows your voice, a captive rhino...
