HAVANA -- In a nation dominated for generations by President Fidel Castro and the Communist Party, one group is emerging as a refuge for those chafing under the constraints of daily life on this Caribbean island.

Widely popular before the 1959 revolution, Cuba's Masons suffered a precipitous decline in ensuing decades, but the group has since recovered its appeal, as some Cubans look for an alternative to the uniformity inherent in the nation's one-party system.

A bit dated, I know. But I just came across it this morning.

Hmmm. Wonder if they Cubans can pass themselves off as angry Mohawks?

I thought Castro was part of our International de-stabilization conspiracy! You know — the one where we get to take ovah da woild...

I love that one, and especially the Charlie Brown side bar.

Reading this article I was struck with the thought that it just gives liberals one more thing to hate about the Craft.

Very interesting.
