Walter T. Ridder reports on Cuba. Castro plans to try 1800 prisoners from last year’s invasion, hinting at executions and long camps on the Isle of Pines. More than 310,000 Cubans have entered the U.S. since Castro’s rise, mostly landing around Miami where language barriers and career limits leave refugees jobless and dependent on limited aid from the federal government and the International Rescue Committee.
