There are a lot of details in history, aren't there, Robert. And such a flow of new ones coming all the time. It must be so difficult for you to keep up. Here is an older detail which affects details yet to come, you may have missed it - Fidel Castro did indeed get the nod from the US as its policy-makers of the day chose to hedge their bets and play both sides against the middle, and he took it seriously - to the point that, as he told Ed Sullivan, he fully expected amicable and mutually beneficial relations between the two neighbors, little realising that when he shot Batista's torturers and confiscated assets for which Batista had been given the bribes the US would permit control of their Cuba policy to be handed to the affected and now somewhat personally offended interests. Silly Fidel, eh. Didn't look to the details.
