...Solution. Unlike the revolts led by such classic guerrillas as Mexico's Emiliano Zapata and Nicaragua's Augusto Sandino in the earlier part of this century, most contemporary terrorist movements are strongly ideological.

"We passed a huge mural of Che Guevara," reported Correspondent Stevens of the motorcade from the airport. "A year ago there had been a companion mural of Ho Chi Minh.
