Autobiographical Bent. Che's Bolivian diaries have since been published, as have portions from the other notebooks. A good deal of the writing, however, has never appeared in print. Andrew St. George, a former LIFE contract reporter who accompanied Che in Cuba's Sierra Maestra, was later invited by the Bolivian government to read and copy parts of Che's papers. From St. George's material emerges a fascinating if fragmentary glimpse of Che Guevara's final days of life...

Fuji's fishing boats flew bright banners that blazed messages of added disgust. Yukio Matsubara, a fishing association official, bluntly defined the root problem: "Hell bent on expanding our economic house, we have simply forgotten the need for building an honorable toilet...

To formalize his own outlook on the matter, he subtly revised the Advanced Standing pamphlet. The pre-Harnett edition states, "New sophomores are free to complete the requirements for a degree in three...
...outfit in Peking; they decided to seat neither. Mme. Nguyen Thi Binh, foreign minister of the Viet Cong's Provisional Revolutionary Government, was welcomed as an observer after a debate that Kaunda dismissed as merely "a bit of controversy." The "nonaligned" posture of the conference was bent even further when Zambian police arrested 16 Western reporters and deported three of them. The men were detained, explained the Zambian government, because "the monopoly press of the West" was seeking to "defame" the summit...
