As is so often the case, the New Yorker was a week ahead of everyone else on this Castro thing. They published This article - Castro's Last Battle on 7/24, a little before he gave power to his brother, Raul. They've just put it online. I'd read it if you're interested in Cuba, because it talks about all the various candidates who may replace Castro, and at least some of these names will be important in the next few years.

Sadly, the article about the Maine fisherman (with a Masters degree) who has figured out where the cod used to spawn inland, and received a MacArthur (genius) grant for his work in trying to repair the cod population, is not online.
