THIS DAY IN HISTORY: Jan. 1

On January 1, 1959 revolutionaries, led by Fidel Castro, toppled Batista's regime. Consequently the U.S. imposed a commercial, financial, and economic embargo on Cuba. Debate goes on today as to whether the embargo should be lifted and U.S. citizens be allowed to travel to Cuba. (Would make it a lot easier to obtain a Havana cigar).
