I thought it was interesting to note, in most newspapers that showed footage of the May Day parades in Havana...they wished Castro good health and to get well....but EVERYONE was wearing Che t-shirts, hats, carrying Che banners, flags, it was OBVIOUS who the Cubans REALLY loved. Some have compared Che as the "20th Century Lord Byron"-the young idealist/revolutionary who died young helping others to achieve justice (as did Byron in Greece where he died).

I have even seen in Union City/North B ergen, NJ (strong anti Castro "emigre" communities) Che skateboards and t-shirts are starting to pop up in the stores. I saw a guy wearing a Che t-shirt enblazoned with "EL CHE", very colorful, walking down Bergenline Avenue. Not too long ago to do that would've been suicidal to do. Now Che's "invaded" the strongest anti-Castro stronghold in the USA outside of Miami.

Perhaps, whether one believes in what Castro has done or not, Che has "evolved" beyond politics or ideologies. Just look around the Union City area today. Paul
