 HAVANA (AP) - His eyes filled with tears, acting President Raul Castro paid his respects Tuesday to his late wife Vilma Espin Guillois, a fellow rebel fighter who served for decades as first lady of the Cuban revolution.
Raul Castro, who has governed Cuba for nearly 11 months during his brother Fidel's convalescence, was among top Cuban leaders who filed past a huge black-and-white photograph of Espin atop a red, white and blue Cuban flag, each placing a single pink or yellow rose in her memory.
Cuban state television showed several leaders embracing Raul or shaking his hand during the ceremony inside Havana's Jose Marti Memorial.
