Tourism in Havana: A Slice

I'm in the middle of The Boys from Dolores by Patrick Symmes and came across this snippet. So here's to the notion that freedom will "ruin" Cuba. About Havana....

The parks were full of prostitutes, the houses full of liquor, and in this capital inmoral of the Revolution, even cocaine. I'd see colonels eating lobster with teenage girls at 3:00 A.M. English rock stars expounding on socialism from the lawn of the Nacional, Russian real estate mobsters on three-girls-a-day benders, Mexican guerrillas turned Marxtrepreneurs, Chilean assassins making a killing in fruit juice, and the astounding perverts of all nations, wallowing in it.
