In a mock training drill put on for the visiting reporters, the same kids watched uniformed insurgents practice creeping through thick jungle and assume various attack positions.

But Marulanda's death by heart attack, confirmed over the weekend by the rebels he commanded for 44 years, makes it official: the Che Guevara era, like that of the hemisphere's military dictatorships, is over. And so, for all intents and purposes, is Marulanda's once feared but now jaded guerrilla army, the Colombian Revolutionary Armed...
