...Guevara's Bristol Britannia finally landed back in Havana last week, the home folks cheered, and the rest of the hemisphere permitted itself a mighty sigh. Not only had Che done his best to steal the spotlight at the Alliance for Progress conference, but he managed to sow sweet confusion at every step along the road home, leaving behind one government toppled and another muttering dark thoughts.

Most forgeries have been designed to sow discord between the Western allies or between them and the uncommitted nations of the world. Usually they are suitably low-keyed and close enough to the real thing to achieve at least passing effect...
