ANDREA MITCHELL: And Cuba is celebrating Fidel Castro’s 88th birthday today, starting the party early with a special concert last night. The opening of an exhibition called Fidel is Fidel. Attended by Elian Gonzales and his family. That is Elian right there. Gonzalez is now 20 years old. He was only 5 when he was at the center of that bitter custody dispute back in 1999 between his father in Cuba and his Miami relatives after his mother died on a raft. Gonzalez talked about Castro with admiration last night saying he made him the person he is today. When I first interviewed the Communist revolutionary in Havana 12 years ago, his legacy with this younger generation of Cubans was already very much top of mind. His most important legacy, he says to inspire a new generation of true believers in his socialist system.
FIDEL CASTRO: There will be no problem if I die tomorrow because we have lots of young people who are well-trained, who know what to do.
