...Contemplating morning-tea fare mightn't sound exciting. But it's not as though it's distracting Taylor from a baffling abduction case. With a population of 1,800, Stratford has the lowest crime rate per capita in Wellington Shire. "The youth of this town respect the town," says Taylor, and the older folk fill Stratford's three churches on Sundays...
...week as Fidel recovered from abdominal surgery, has always been there. His brother's designated successor, he was beside Fidel from the moment the two, with Raúl's acquaintance Che Guevara, launched the revolution that overthrew the dictatorship of Cuba's Fulgencio Batista in 1959. Having joined the Socialist Youth as a university student, Raúl was red before Fidel, who fought Batista in the name of nationalism and only later made his way to communism. Early on, the younger brother gained a reputation for ruthlessness, overseeing the execution of scores of Batista soldiers in 1959, an image that would...
...word, but a creepy sense of recognition was definitely there.But besides reading time and a freakish connection with Mystery Man From Brazil, three hours a day of transit have given me valuable perspective.

In protest, he started the Rise Up! Network, a non-profit alternative media site, where anyone can feature his or her own video work and retain exclusive rights...
...military celebration last month, Raul, who became a communist as a youth, well before Fidel, insisted that "only the Communist Party" can rule Cuba and "anything else is pure speculation." But at the same time, Raul may carry more perestroika in his political DNA than Fidel does. When the Soviet Union's lavish economic aid to Cuba disappeared in the early 1990s and many Cubans faced possible starvation, Raul convinced a reluctant Fidel to reopen the island's private agricultural markets as an incentive to increase food production. "Beans are more important than rifles," he insisted. Latell agrees...
