...Vatican. The Serbian Orthodox Church last month demanded that Milosevic step down and instructed its priests to preach from the pulpit this past Sunday that Serbian forces are responsible for the atrocities in Kosovo. Washington wants Pope John Paul II, who helped engineer the toppling of Poland's communist regime, to join in taking a crack at Milosevic...
...third of the Harvard students to do anything it would cause significant ripples. The closest examples would be Ec 10's effect on test scheduling or the Krokodiloes' concert on your Saturday night plans: each probably sucks away a sixth of the campus and even your most sheltered communist-anarchist music-hating philosophy concentrator will feel the effects...
...self-educated, and he reads all the time when he's not drinking or down the shaft. His literary range is wider than that of most educated Americans I've met, and he talks beautifully.

The major revolutions of the past quarter-century (South Africa, Iran, the Philippines, Nicaragua), not to mention the peaceful transitions to democracy in Latin America, East Asia and the communist world, have all entailed negotiations with former adversaries, a give and take that could not be farther from Che's unyielding demand for confrontation to the death. Even someone like Subcomandante Marcos, the spokesman for the Chiapas Maya revolt, whose charisma and moral stance remind us of Che's, does...
