...Maestra were able to take power. But unlike Mao, Castro contends that not a mass party, but a handful of armed intellectuals is sufficient to spark revolution among the Latin American peasantry. Bragging that he would turn the Andes into the Sierra Maestra of South America, Castro hoped to export revolution to all of Latin America. Indeed, twelve governments have accused him of exporting subversion and supplying arms to guerrillas in their countries; nowhere did he score a real success. In 1967, his dream of victory was punctured by the Bolivian army bullets that killed Che Guevara, his longtime aide...
...arrival tended to be exaggerated. In Bogota, Nixon's envoy was briefed by President Carlos Lleras Restrepo and others who pointed proudly to their country's success in economic diversification.

The proof is provided in contradictory fragments: a sitar sits near a hi-fi rig; a girl is dubbed a beauty queen with a rhinestone coronet that matches the jewel in her nose; groupies sleep on a temple's tessellated floors...
...dried up. Nearly 1,000 businessmen made inquiries about shifting to Taiwan or Singapore. But peace returned-and so did prosperity. No businesses actually moved out. Despite the monumental inconveniences caused by what is now euphemistically called "the disturbances," 1967 turned out to be Hong Kong's best export year until then, and 1968 was even better in every respect. Last week, as it celebrated the Chinese New Year-the "Year of the Rooster"-the British crown colony had plenty to crow about. Business has never been better...
