Cuba, End of the Peculiar - The Ideas Letter

 Cuban prostitutes may be the target of a state
             campaign to prevent a sex trade on the Caribbean island but they can boast high
                  educational standards, President Fidel Castro once said.

                  "One day when I was down in Brazil, an Argentinian asked me 'Is it true that
                  some girls who are university graduates sometimes practice prostitution?"'
                  Castro said in a rare public reference to a highly sensitive subject for Cuba's
                  government.

                  "I replied instantly, without thinking, 'That proves prostitutes in Cuba have a
                  university level,' " he added, laughing at the anecdote given during a lengthy
                 five hour speech to close a Cuban workers' congress in Havana.
