Fidel Castro's Classmates
Wednesday, July 18, 2007
Fidel Castro and his brother Raul attended a Jesuit school named Dolores that educated Cuba's elites until the revolution. Now most of the Castro brothers' former classmates are in exile. Patrick Symmes looks into the divergent paths of Dolores alumni in his new book, The Boys from Dolores: Fidel Castro's Classmates from Revolution to Exile.

Um, Cuba is NOT on the dollar economy. Fidel took it to the Euro back in 2003.
This is only one thing I know this guy is saying is just plain wrong.
