Cuba's Future

In ten days, on August 13th, Fidel Castro turns 80, if he's alive. Since word came down this week that an unwell Fidel was turning authority over to his brother Raul, Cuba and the Cuban Diaspora — from Miami to Washington to points worldwide — have been crackling with speculation about what comes next.

Will Fidel return? Is he even alive? Will the revolution Castro championed at Cuba's helm for almost fifty years go on? Will the counter-revolution begin? Will Cuban Communism morph into a China-style market economy?

Havana has plans. So do Miami's exiles. So does Washington. And then there are the Cuban people.

Hear about the way ahead for Cuba — beyond Fidel.
