...Ever had the urge to to make like a young Che Guevara and hop on a motorcycle to see what the world is made of? London marketing exec Simon Smith got that itch in 1999 and went scuffing around India to recalibrate his life. And the product of his two years of soul searching? A scheme he started in 2003 to help others to find their inner Che?and do some good along the way. Every February, Smith, an avid biker, leads 120 or so riders on the Enduro India tour, a two-week, 2,500-km motorcycle trek from...
...very retro. Unlike, say, the anti-World Trade Organization protests in Seattle in 1999, the protests against the 34-nation Summit of the Americas taking place in this coastal city have a decidedly leftist feel from another era. That much was clear from the Che Guevara banners flying at the "counter summit" rally Friday.

I am not saying that the whole focus of our education should be on understanding society and its problems—a little bit of disinterested study certainly can never hurt, and this is probably one of our last opportunities for it. I am not saying we should spend every minute of our four years here in guilt-ridden anguish over how we, “to whom much has been given,†must ourselves give back. What I am saying is that we as students...
...result, any cold war-style talk about "taking Chavez out" with "covert operatives," as Robertson suggested, just confers more Che Guevara cachet on the former army lieutenant colonel (who himself led a failed coup in 1992). And since Chavez has threatened to cut off oil exports to the U.S. at the first sign of gringo aggression, it makes America's important Venezuelan oil supply look all the more volatile...
