Cuba offers paid time off for workers to see pope

HAVANA -- Cuba's communist government is making it easier for citizens
to see Pope Benedict XVI during his visit this month.

The government Labor Ministry says state workers in Havana and Santiago
will get paid time off to attend papal events during the pope's March
26-28 trip to the Caribbean island. The pope will come to Cuba after
visiting Mexico.

Meanwhile, the Communist Party newspaper Granma says Saturday that the
capital's main airport terminal will be reserved for the papal trip. All
other flights will be shifted to other terminals.
