 By Fausta Wertz Cuba: A Photograph as MetaphorCuba celebrated fifty years of its Communist Revolution the other day. It was a subdued celebration, as befits a celebration where the locals were not invited, and where the anniversary is marked by grief. I was

Some of you may remember me from my acting years. As a retiree, I have become a freelance travel writer. With the 50th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution and the plethora of articles praising the accomplishments of Fidel Castro, I could not resist the opportunity to visit Cuba for a week-end.
I decided to travel through Mexico City.

La
violencia engendra violencia; eso dice el tópico. Pero ¿siempre es así?
La violencia desatada en Cuba a partir del 1º de enero de 1959, por

violencia? Y, sobre todo, ¿hay indicios de que pueda hacerlo en el
futuro?.... |

 Is racism dead in America? Did the election of Barack Obama mean the end of racism? Is racism fading into American memory, and no longer active? Do you know racism when you see it? Is racism today the same as it was 20 years ago? 30? 40? This

 "It goes without saying" No one
in their right mind can possibly tell me or even attempt to convince me

Cualquier balance que se haga de la Cuba de Fidel Castro, si es
medianamente equilibrado, levanta ampollas. Es uno de los resultados
visibles de la revolución después de 50 años: haber dividido a los
cubanos y a la opinión pública internacional en dos bandos.... T/T Jose Bernardo |

............In fact, Fidel Castro has staged one of the most successful
propaganda campaigns of all times. The key to this masterful
manipulation has been the effective concealment of his worst crimes and
a pervasive unawareness of the large cost in lives of the Castro
dynasty. This largely explains the persistent ignorance of the bloody
and ruthless nature of the regime and the tendency to justify it on the
basis of so-called principles of equality and social justice. But,
mounting evidence of brutality will make it increasingly difficult to
sustain this false legitimacy. When the truth finally comes out,
Castro’s singular ability to fool so many, so much, and for so long will
be nakedly exposed.......
