- <p> Bush Administration officials are bracing themselves for
- Fidel Castro's next "dirty trick": the lifting of age
- restrictions on travel abroad. Currently, only older Cubans
- (men over 45, women over 40) are allowed to visit relatives in
- the U.S. The State Department knows it will be flooded with
- requests for tourist visas if the age limit is lifted. "The
- Cubans are trying to embarrass us," grouses one official. The
- U.S. suspects that the dictator plans to repeat the 1980
- Mariel boatlift, in which he exported malcontents and hardened
- criminals to southern Florida. "We've been on the blacklist
- because we don't allow free travel," responds a Havana
- policymaker. "Now we are doing what they demand, and still
- we're bad guys."
