Once again, the sometimes hopeful, sometimes hysterical rumors about Cuban leader Fidel Castro's health, began making the rounds following the announcement that he was handing power to his brother Raul before he underwent surgery for "an acute intestinal crisis with sustained bleeding."A professor of Latin American Studies at Dalhousie University in Halifax, John Kirk, said the tone of the official proclamation and the "ominous ring" of his statement that "imperialism will never be able to crush Cuba," suggested his condition was dire.
