DIED. ALBERTO KORDA, 72, photographer whose image of Ernesto "Che" Guevara immortalized him as a worldwide symbol of revolution; in Paris. Korda's picture The Heroic Guerrilla graced countless T shirts and posters after Guevara's death in 1967. The photographer accepted use of his picture as a protest icon but fought commercial reproductions he felt "dishonored" his subject. DIED. WHITMAN MAYO, 70, actor best known for playing the character Grady in the U.S. TV series Sanford and Son; in Atlanta.

...months JESSICA ALBA--who plays the omni-racial, genetically perfect and tantalizingly saucy character Max Guevara on James Cameron's sci-fi dweeb spectacular Dark Angel--has danced a softshoe around rumors that she and co-star MICHAEL WEATHERLY were dating. She even resorted to the "just good friends" line. This week her publicist confirmed what those in nerddom feared all along: not only are the couple involved, they're engaged. Alba is 20. Weatherly is 32. It seems superfluous to mention that this is Alba's first marriage, but hey, it is. Weatherly, who plays wheelchair-bound cyberjournalist Logan...
...like Vets2Cuba, have political agendas. Founded five years ago by Vietnam veteran Jim Long, 52, the group has taken nearly 30 vets of World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam on weeklong trips over Veterans Day. "We pay homage to a Cuban hero, like Antonio Masseo or Che Guevara, and we have a joint ceremony with Cuban veterans on Nov. 11," says Long, a telecommunications engineer in San Francisco who feels the U.S. should end its "economic blockade" against the country. Manhattan's 92nd Street Y takes largely Jewish-American travelers on excursions to Jewish Havana, and Global Exchange...
...like the days of Che Guevara, where you sat around a campfire in the jungle playing the guitar," says Carlos Castano, laughing. He is probably the most feared--and elusive--man in Colombia. "Even in the jungle, I have the Internet and mobile phones. Why, the other night I watched a Kevin Costner movie, Message in a Bottle, on satellite TV." Since 1996 Castano has seized control of hundreds of small private armies recruited by Colombia's druglords, industrialists and owners of the big cattle ranches and emerald mines. These vigilantes were little better than death squads. Castano consolidated these...
...sensibilities living in South Africa. The Burgesses are fundamentally good people caught up in larger political forces. Ironically enough, Harry wants to take the family to visit Gandhi's house, and he pays the servants more than the British neighbors do. Patrice is a liberal who knows about Che Guevara, even if she brings the name up only to spit it right back at idealistic Alec. Patrice had ideals, but they have precipitated into a wickedly sardonic sense of humor-for example, "What does a woman interested in American art do when they stop making the stuff?" The Burgesses wouldn...
