Cuban President Raul Castro turned 77 on Tuesday, 100 days since officially taking charge of a government that has awakened hopes for change in Cuba after 49 years under his brother Fidel.
At an age when most men have retired, Raul Castro is taking steps to modernize Cuba’s state-run economy, which is winning praise from Cubans but also criticism from opponents, especially the United States.”*
