On a related note, I took a history class called "history of espionage" taught by an ex-CIA guy. We talked about all the crazy ways people tried to kill Castro, including poisoning drinks. One story was how the CIA got to get one of Castro's mistresses to try to kill him. Castro found out or something and gave her the gun and told her too assassinate him, but she couldn't because he was "too amazing" and she loved him too much or something. Crazy stuff. Apparently there is museum in Cuba where Fidel has displays for every US failed assignation attempt.

It is just comically embarrassing.

I took a class that sounds pretty similar. It was called 'radical change' and we discussed all sorts of revolutions through history and obviously Cuba was a big topic. Our prof told us something about someone trying to use an exploding cigar to try to kill Castro.
