Fidel Castro joins the list.

One of the most significant historical figures in the 20th and 21st century. Do the communists still have control of Cuba?

Yup. For the last few years Castro's younger brother has been keeping the status quo going.


edit: wedgetail's a'quoting dragon!
 

In what was more of a character assassination attempt, the CIA plotted to rid Castro of his beloved beard during a visit to New York in the 1960s.

The plan involved – bizarrely – putting thallium salt, a depilatory, in his shoes.
Bastards!
