Cuban "leader" FIdel Castro, Cuban "Dicator" Batista.
The Miami Herald keeps lobing it over home plate for anything with a fully-functional brain. Today they refer to (and in the same article, lest we overlook their disingeniousnes or stupidity) to Cuban "leader" Fidel Castro (Jailed political prisoners at a higher rate than Stalin, Stalinist regime control over travel, education, press, employement, etc. etc. etc.) to Cuban "dictator" Batists (Cubans perfectly free to flee Cuba with all property etc, and Cuba boasting net immigration)

This Herald article describes Mauricio Font as head of "the Bildner Center for Western Hemisphere Studies in New York." It omits mention that Mauricio A. Font Carballosa frequently collaborated in the pro-Catro magazine Areito between 1975 and 1980 and was a member of their editorial committee. Font also participated in the so-called "dialogue" with the Castro dictatorship and signed the agreement with the government.

Carlos Franqui is described as a "veteran Castro-watcher." No mention is made that Franqui was an youthful militant Communist and proofreader for the Communist organ "Hoy." In 1955 he joined the Castro movement and became active in terrorist activities in Havana. According to Mario Llerena in his book "The Unsuspected Revolution," page 174: "Manolo Couzeiro... told me that he had been one of the people arrested with Franqui the time the police raided the clandestine paper Revolucion. Couzeiro said that Franqui broke down under the threat of torture and gave the police the names of many persons involved in revolutionary activities, including my own, this confirming the suspicions that prompted Franqui's wife to warm me that I might be in danger." Franqui was director of Radio Rebelde in the Sierra Maestra and director of the newspaper "Revolucion" from 1959 to 1965. He migrated to Rome in 1968.
