Fidel Castro at 75 Defies Odds Amid Havana Parade
Fidel Castro, the world’s last Cold War era communist leader, celebrates his 75th birthday amid a Havana parade. He has ruled Cuba for 42 years, survived nine U.S. presidents, and remains a rallying symbol despite health concerns and a faltering economy after the Soviet collapse. The aging leader, still intently defiant, vows to press on with his revolutionary fight and the battle of ideas against U.S. policies.
