Castro in France
* Re “French Boost Castro With Big Welcome,” March 14:
So Cuban President Fidel Castro said in France that “this is it. Apartheid is over.” Yeah, right. Ask the millions of Cubans in their own country who cannot visit tourist attractions, beaches, nightclubs, hotels, etc., if they don’t have dollars.
Apartheid is alive and well in Cuba.

* I just read Scott Kraft’s article on the welcome Castro received in France. Seems like the Cold War is over everywhere but in the United States.

* According to The Times, the only thing that happened at the United Nations World Summit for Social Development (“Castro to Leaders: ‘Do as I Say, Not as I Do,’ ” March 13) was that Castro asked the speakers to conform to agreed-upon time limits. If anything else did happen, it was not deemed worthy of mention.
