[edit] Misc

The current page is a start. takethemud 01:12, 13 April 2006 (UTC)takethemud

Have added Cuba-United States relations to the list, and Cuba and democracy which was needed to take the heat off the main Cuba page (see international coverage [1]) --Zleitzen 14:34, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Celia Sanchez

The Norwegian wikipedia had this photo - http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilde:Celia1.jpg - do you think we can use that ? I think it's a much nicer photo than the bizarre big-hair one. It also appears http://www.radiomoron.cu/2006/01/11/celia.asp - without a copyright note (compare the other photo on that page). -- Beardo 03:52, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree it is more natural depiction of Sanchez than the weird Adams family big-hair pose. Go ahead.--Zleitzen 04:06, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I just wait for the copyright police to hit that. I think that would look nice on your women in Cuba article, too. -- Beardo 06:12, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gore Vidal

Is his visit newsworthy ? "HAVANA -- Celebrated American writer Gore Vidal slammed the four-decade-long U.S. trade embargo against Cuba on Sunday, saying during a visit to the island that he hopes recent changes in U.S. politics will help end the sanctions." - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/12/10/AR2006121001149.html

And I must say he looked healthier on TV a few minutes ago than in that 2003 file photo. Especially as he's older than Fidel. -- Beardo 06:12, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
