Che Today? More Easy Rider Than Revolutionary

Published: May 26, 2004

BUENOS AIRES, May 25 - Che Guevara is widely remembered today as a 
revolutionary figure; to some a heroic, Christ-like martyr, to others the 
embodiment of a failed ideology. To still others, he is just a 
commercialized emblem on a T-shirt.

But for Latin Americans just now coming of age, yet another image of Che is 
starting to emerge: the romantic and tragic young adventurer who has as 
much in common with Jack Kerouac or James Dean as with Fidel Castro.
