President Fidel Castro's Cuba may be a polecat in the U.S., but hugs, flowers and chants of "Viva Fidel!" greeted a delegation of 96 Cuban doctors who arrived here Tuesday to work in rural hospitals. Dr. Nkosazana Zuma, South Africa's health minister, welcomed the jet-lagged physicians as they passed through a cheering crowd at the international airport. She said they would be sent immediately to communities where South African doctors are reluctant to serve.
