As expected, the Habanistas have been swirling and studying their coffee grounds to explain Fidel Castro's recent spate of public appearances. Columnist Andres Oppenheimer gives the 5 most common explanations.
OPPENHEIMER: "Here's the question being asked by almost anybody who is following the latest news from Cuba -- what on earth is Fidel Castro up to? Since he made his first public appearance in four years last month, Cuba's officially retired dictator -- who turned 84 Friday -- hasn't stopped showing up in public, and grabbing the headlines. Proclaiming himself ``totally'' recovered from the intestinal ailment that forced him to turn over the presidency to his brother Gen. Raúl Castro in 2006, Fidel Castro has made more than a dozen public appearances since he was photographed visiting the National Center of Scientific Investigations on July 7."
