Cuba mourns Fidel CastroHAVANA -- Cuba mourned revolutionary leader Fidel Castro on Sunday as the communist island prepared to say its last goodbyes to the towering giant of its modern history with mass memorials and a four-day funeral procession. Castro, whose iron-fisted rule defied the United States for half a century, died late Friday after surviving 11 US administrations and hundreds of assassination attempts. But in Miami, home to the largest community of exiles who fled Castro's rule, euphoric crowds erupted into loud celebration. Fidel Castro was larger than life," said a tearful Aurora Mendez, 82. She recalled a life in poverty before Castro's revolution in 1959.
