Having Fidel Castro out of the day-to-day administration of the Caribbean island due to health issues, is paying off for the Cuban people. Fidel’s brother—Raul Castro, the top man on the island—recently approved the sale of various electronics, including DVD players, computers, toasters, 24-inch television sets and rice cookers for the first time.
