In a move that echoes decades of Cold War tension, the United States has extended financial sanctions to Cuba's sitting president, its intelligence chief, and a network of state entities — reaching even into the Castro family itself.

Whether such pressure bends or merely hardens a government long accustomed to siege is the question history keeps asking, and Cuba keeps answering in its own way.
