The End of the Cuba Embargo?
In a potboiler dispatch from corruption-plagued Miami, Ann Louise Bardach surveys the combustible local power struggle that could determine the fate of the U.S. Embargo against Cuba. Two brothers, Congressmen Lincoln and Mario Diaz-Balart, both nephews of Fidel Castro, wield enormous influence in Washington regarding U.S.-Cuban relations. Now Lincoln, facing a formidable challenge from a Democratic insurgent, is accused of fighting dirty: disappearing ballots, cash-for-votes, media manipulation. With Obama ascendant and Florida’s Cuban-American support for the GOP splintering, the dissolution of an international wall that’s stood for nearly half a century may finally be on the horizon.
