“The roads are there. It’s just that the cars aren’t,” the Washington Post article Drew refers to reports. “In the 4 1/2 decades since Fidel Castro’s 1959 victory, small-town Cubans have watched the cars that once lined their avenues cough and gasp and eventually die, not to be replaced.”

What I find interesting is that the article is entitled “In Rural Cuba, a Slow Road to Progress.”

Of course, the headline refers to Cantico One of Dante’s The Divine Comedy, “Inferno: A Slow Road to Paradise.”
