i noticed a couple of articles (or 3) this past week about the assassination of ernesto "che" guevara. one was in the ucsb student rag, the daily nexus. the other 2 (new york times & the l.a. times too?) zeroed in on his cult of personality as well.

the thing for me about the nexus opinion's page piece, which, not surprisingly, scolded young americans for romanticizing che, is that it was totally oblivious to his legend internationally -- but especially in latin america -- where it is in no way possible to dismiss his impact as some sort of fad. if i had the time, i'd do some research myself & write a response to that fool: but robert scheer does a good enough job of debunking the debunkers here...
