...China and the socialist countries and all colonial or semicolonial peoples who have liberated themselves are our friends." The U.S., about whose own revolution and liberating doctrines Che seems to know very little, is the enemy. "There are still governments in the Americas," he added, "that advise us to lick the hand that wants to hit us. We cannot join in a continental alliance with our great enslaver." He urged all Latin American governments to send supporters of dictatorship "to the wall," a method of dealing with opponents that is very familiar...

Kono virtually guarantees the U.S. a gold medal. Undefeated in world championship competition since 1952, he has broken some 30 world records. Even more unusual, Kono seems able to gain or lose weight at will and still lick the planet. In the Olympics he won the 148-lb. class in 1952, the 181-lb. class in 1956.
