Havana is 225 miles away, but daily lunch at her uncle Antonio's is still an old fashioned family affair for Miami attorney Maria Elena Priory's(center), a leading figure in the city's 700,000- strong Cuban community. Her late father, Carlos Priory's Socarras, was Cuba's last president before dictator Fulgencio Batista took over in 1952. Photographer: Stephanie Maze Spring 1986
