- With Cuba an increasingly lonely holdout against the
- stampede away from communism, what better time for the
- anti-Castro RADIO MARTI to turn up the volume and hasten Fidel's
- political demise? Instead, a recent U.S. Information Agency
- study shows a shrinking audience. Radio Marti employees blame
- their director, Rolando Bonachea, for the defections. Bonachea
- has tried to "professionalize" the station's programming by
- increasing its anticommunist rhetoric. Castro's stations, by
- contrast, have won listeners back by giving them what they want:
- rock 'n' roll.
