...martial tone, that quotation is not an excerpt from the maxims of Chairman Mao or Che Guevara's advice to guerrillas.

Its militant, military style is a direct response to the disturbing fact that U.S. business is now under siege-the target of a multipronged assault by forces ranging from outside political protesters to embezzling employees...

Adolfo Siles, who became President after Barrientos was killed in a helicopter crash, wanted to allow Arguedas to go into exile, but the military vetoed the idea. The generals' most bizarre but compelling argument was that Arguedas had possession of Guevara's severed hands. Che's hands had been preserved in formaldehyde and examined in La Paz by fingerprint experts. Nobody is sure what became of them after that. Even if they have not been destroyed, the hands could serve no further legal purpose-but they might have an enduring sentimental or superstitious value. The generals were...
