The abductors' note was signed by two bands-the National Liberation Action Group, a Brazilian anti-government underground outfit, and the October 8 Revolutionary Movement, or MR-8, a Castroite group that takes its name from the date of Che Guevara's 1967 capture in Bolivia.

While Ho was in a Chinese jail in 1942 and '43, Dong led the nationalist movement and has been its administrative head ever since. After France's defeat, he led the triumphant guerrilla delegation to the 1954 Geneva talks, becoming Premier the following year. Just as Ho steered an even course between China and Russia, so in all likelihood would Dong...
