One of the last vestiges of the Cold War was buried this afternoon, when President Obama set foot in Cuba. He’s the first American president to visit the island since Calvin Coolidge, 88 years ago.

The motorcade then made its way to a meeting with staff of the U.S. embassy, which re-opened last summer after a half-century of official isolation.
