Cuban Ballerina Gets Asylum: A top ballerina with the Cuban National Ballet and her husband were granted political asylum in Spain, a police spokesman said Sunday. It was the latest strain in relations between Spain and its former Caribbean colony, already tense over 18 Cubans being sheltered at Spain’s embassy in the Cuban capital of Havana. The unidentified spokesman confirmed that dancer Dagmar Moradillo and her husband, Alfredo Rodriguez, sought and received provisional political asylum Saturday at the police station. Rodriguez is a lighting designer with the company.
