No, not THIS Castro!
No, not THIS Castro!

With all the drama surrounding Elian Gonzalez, who better to have come speak to our club than a fellow named Castro. No, not THAT Castro. But Max J. Castro, Ph.D., a senior research associate at Miami’s Dante B. Fascell North-South Center at the University of Miami. Born in Cuba, Castro is an author and columnist for the Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald, and is frequently quoted in print and the electronic media about this issue. He is an articulate observer of the growth of the Hispanic population in South Florida and has strong opinions about where Elian should call home.
