#3 Hugo summoned Raul for, ahem, consulations. Cuba will henceforth be a Venezuela's Puerto Rico.

#4 1. Raul knows better than to upstage Fidel.
2. Raul would make a great target right about now.
3. Better to keep the masses and the CIA guessing than to risk unrest. Fidel might have difficulty escaping a mob right now.

#5 1. Raul was injured in the same attack as Fidel, they thought he was okay but had complications.
2. Raul was going to take power but a General killed him first and now there is a power-play going on.
3. Raul is still taking instructions from his long-winded brother on how to run the government.

#6 RAUL: Here's one.
CART MASTER: Nine Pesos.
FIDEL: I'm not dead!
CART MASTER: What?
RAUL: Nothing. Here's your nine Pesos.
FIDEL: I'm not dead!
CART MASTER:'Ere. He says he's not dead!
RAUL: Yes, he is.
FIDEL: I'm not!
CART MASTER: He isn't?
RAUL: Well, he will be soon. He's very ill.
FIDEL: I'm getting better!
RAUL: No, you're not. You'll be stone dead in a moment.
CART MASTER: Oh, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations.
FIDEL: I don't want to go on the cart!
RAUL: Oh, don't be such a baby.

#10 He's busy packing his bags, fueling the jet, and scraping up the cash (hard currency, por favor) to buy a sweet little penthouse in Caracas.

#11 his brother is actually much smaller than Fidel, and in this pic, Fidel caught him in his glove while playing pickle. IMHO
