Castro

Fidel Castro marked his 85th birthday behind closed doors Saturday.  The aging leader increasingly fades from the spotlight, even if his outsize persona continues to cast a long shadow over Cuban society and U.S. relations.  Since his illness, he has remained in the shadows, while his brother Raul, mans the helm as Cuba's President.  The world watches as time takes it's toll on the Cuban leader's health.  As for now he remains involved with his brother's politics in controlling the country.
