...Czechoslovakia becalmed temporarily a storm that has darkened the skies of all Eastern Europe. It was nearly as surprising a concession for the Russians to make as it would have been for John F. Kennedy and his Cabinet to have journeyed to Havana for talks during the Cuban missile crisis. Never in the Soviet Union's 50-year history has the entire party leadership traveled abroad.

Ironically, Che has come close to doing in death what he could not achieve in life.

"It did not matter if Senator Kennedy's assailant was first believed to be a Mexican, and then a Cuban and then an Arab," said the Montreal Star, adding: "The fact remains that in Harlem and Watts and every other Negro community . . . 'they' [assassins] exist as perpetual enemies, while the one figure who might have provided hope was removed forcibly from the arena." Perhaps the farthest reach came...
