Cuba: Spray paint mightier than the revolution

Anti-government graffiti showed up a scant two hours after similar slogans had been erased from the lobby of a building in the Vedado section of Havana.

"Down with Castro" and "Down with the dictatorship" were some of the slogans someone wrote on the walls of the lobby of the upscale apartment building at the corner of 21 and A Streets last Saturday before midnight.

The members of the Committee for the Defense of the Revolution wiped out the slogans as soon as they came to their attention.

But by 2:00 a.m., the graffiti artist had struck again, this time not only in the building's lobby, but in at least some of the upper floors and in the elevators.
