Former Soviet Leaders to Castro: Ignore Rumors
by Scott Ott

(2006-08-05) â A troika of former Soviet leaders offered words of encouragement today to Fidel Castro as he continues his miraculous recovery from serious abdominal surgery while his brother Raul is so busy running the government he canât make public appearances.

Leonid Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov and Konstanin Chernenko issued the joint communique urging Mr. Castro to brush off rumors that his condition is worse than officially reported.

âIgnore the idle chatter and grave speculation,â the former Soviet leaders said. âIf we had listened to the voice of the people, we would never be where we are today.â

Indeed, the Cuban dictator apparently felt well enough this morning that his spokesman was able to issue an official statement saying Mr. Castro is making a strong recovery and that his brother Raul is âfully, totally and completely in charge of the government 24/7.â

In related news, the official U.S. News Agency released a brief statement saying President John F. Kennedy is âon the mendâ after a âsmall arms fire incident in Dallasâ and that, in the interim, Secretary of State Alexander Haig is fully in command.
