Cuba on the Precipice

Thoughtful OpEd essay in today's WaPo on the challenges facing Cuba as Fidel's mental and emotional stability declines, by Brian Latell.   (Latell is a retired CIA Latin American specialist who is now writing and teaching at Georgetown's Center for Strategic & International Studies.)   His essay points out that as Cuba's creaking economy faces its greatest crisis since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Castro's leadership has become increasingly erratic.   Its worth a look.
