The Orange Bowl, souvenir T-shirts and salsa bands. That, apparently is what Miami city officials had in mind to mark the impending death of Fidel Castro.
Oddly enough, the city's plans have been panned by many Cuban-Americans.
Lester Ramos, a cab driver, listens to Miami disc jockeys that bleed onto Cuba’s AM dial. That’s where he learned his near-perfect English.
"The guy’s not even dead," said Ramos, shaking his head. "It’s unbelievable."
"My sister told me," explained Ivet Lopez, a pediatric emergency-room nurse who speaks to her Hialeah family on a regular basis. "And I told her that’s no way to live — waiting for somebody to die."
Cuban state TV meanwhile released what they claimed was recent video of Fidel Castro that seemed to show him on the mend. "As I have said, this is far from being a lost battle," Castro declared.
