Che-mania revives the ghosts of Castro's revolutionary past

Article Abstract:

The memory of revolutionary Che Guevara, who died in 1967, remains very strong in Cuba. His influence is particularly powerful as plans are made to rebury his body, which was exhumed in Bolivia in Jul 1997, in Cuba. The body will lie in state for seven days, and many events relating to his life will be held. There are mixed views about the relationship between Guevara and Cuban President Fidel Castro, and especially about whether Castro is sincere in the continuing adulation of Guevara.

Junta's opponents thrown live into sea

Article Abstract:

Recent reports have indicated that many political prisoners 'disappeared' during Argentina's 'Dirty War' in the period 1976-83. These revelations have caused great embarrassment to president Carlos Menem as he campaigns to be re-elected. Ordinary people have now received confirmation of their long-held suspicions that opponents of the country's former military rulers were dumped live at sea, and it is thought that a total of 4,000 were killed and 9,000 disappeared.
