 HAVANA (AP) - A healthier looking Fidel Castro appeared on Cuban television Tuesday, speaking slowly and focusing on past memories rather than his recovery and future in his first lengthy appearance since he fell ill and gave up power last summer.
The 80-year-old Castro's now grayer beard and hair were well-trimmed and he looked rested and alert — no longer the picture of a man on the verge of death. But he did not speak of international issues and did not mention any plans to return to governing Cuba.
"I tell my compatriots, I'm now doing what I should be doing," Castro said, during an interview with Randy Alonso, host of the government's nightly "Round Table" program. "There are no secrets."
