An End to Castro's Cuba?

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/castro/index.html

Is Fidel Castro's 47-year rule of Cuba nearing an end?
Speculation is abounding this week after the Communist leader
temporarily ceded power to his brother, Raul, while he underwent
surgery to repair intestinal bleeding.

Some think that this temporary relinquishment of power is a "test
drive" for an eventual handing over of the reins. Others believe
that the leader is in his final days. Some even suggest that
Castro may already have died. The story will unfold in the coming
days.

In the meantime, visit AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: FIDEL CASTRO online:
