Smile

Obama grins during a lighter moment at a working session of the summit, which has been dominated by talk of the fate of Cuba. An unexpected overture from the nation’s president, Raul Castro, spurred the topic to the forefront of the summit. In a suggestion that Cuba might be ready to rethink a relationship with the U.S. rooted in the Cold War, Castro said recently, “We could be wrong; we admit it.”  (Brennan Linsley / Associated Press)
