The long arm of the law
Somehow, I don't think Fidel Castro is going to be appearing at court in Maine to fight this:
BELFAST, Maine -- A woman from Stockton Springs has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
Sherry Sullivan contends Castro caused the death of her father, Geoffrey Sullivan, a pilot who she said was shot down over Cuba and imprisoned in 1963 while on a covert mission.
Sullivan filed her lawsuit in May in Superior Court in Belfast, but the judge delayed action until last week while considering how to serve papers to the defendants, who also include Castro's brother Raul, the Cuban army and the Republic of Cuba.
Mills finally sent a Spanish translation of the suit to Cuba by registered mail but has yet to receive proof of its delivery to the parties named.
entry no. 917
