Original Toronto Star caption: Castro can't tolerate people standing behind him and this was made perfectly clear to Star photographer Reg Innell when he set out to snap a shot of the Cuban leader in action. Innell had to badger, cajole and fast-talk his way by Castro's personal bodyguard before he got this picture of Castro addressing a crowd of 600,000 Cubans in Havana on the 10th anniversary of the revolution.
