Castro to Resume Top Post Amid Cuban Revolution Celebrations
Castro announced his return to the top post as celebrations swept Cuba after the revolution. Public rallies showed strong support despite his charge of a lies campaign. Across Havana and the island, people danced in streets and fired shots as peasant crowds filled plazas. A stadium incident in Rochester linked to a baseball game caused injuries including the Redwings’ acting manager Frank Verdi, prompting a double-header postponement. Authorities declared July 26 a national shrine day, with mobs and armed peasants roaming the streets.
