...advancing the exasperating claim to Walter that those who really know agree. What interests me about Walter is that he, like many students at Harvard, has moved from a completely apolitical position into the radical organizations. In Walter's case, it was a move from existentialism into a Marxist camp (or at least a Marxist suburb...
Died. Celia Guevara, 58, mother of Che, Fidel Castro's Argentine-born jack-of-all-subversion, a screeching Communist fanatic who raised her nino on Marxist dogma but never had the influence she wanted until her son's rise to power in Cuba, after which she traveled the hemisphere as a Communist Front organizer clad in leather jacket and Basque beret, and forever sporting a pistol-even when she sat down to dinner; of cancer; in Buenos Aires...
