The communist loyalty runs in its blood. Sample story:
I, me, Fidel
By ANI
Cuban leader Fidel Castro has said that he wears a beard to save time. He believes that ten working days in a year would be lost if he shaved. This and other revealing personal facts fill his upcoming autobiography, “Fidel Castro: My Life,” out by Scribner next month.
The revolutionary credits Hemingway’s novel “For Whom the Bell Tolls” for inspiring him to overthrow Fulgencio Batista, his U.S. friendly predecessor. “While I was up in the Sierra, I remembered that book a lot. Over the years, I must have read it at least three times, and I was familiar with the movie. It talks about the existence of a guerrilla force … in the rear of a conventional army. Hemingway described things in a very realistic way. Later, when we came to know that life as a guerrilla firsthand, we always came back to [that book] to find inspiration.” The New York Daily News quotes Castro, as saying.Past tense
With a memory astonishing for an 81-year-old, Castro quotes President Bush’s exact statements in paragraphs and tracks the ups and downs of gold prices under Nixon. His childhood reminiscences give clues to his ultimate rebelliousness: “My father owned about 25,000 acres of land. My family was quite well-to-do,” says Castro.
But at the age of six, his parents sent him away to live with a very strict teacher who was so poor that Castro went hungry much of the time, and had to sew his own shoes back together whenever they fell apart. Yet there is no jealousy of his brother, Raul, who stayed with his parents, who is groomed to run Cuba when Fidel goes to the great commune in the sky. But not soon.
