| Che Guevara vira tema de curso |
|
|
Após dedicar vários anos ao estudo da vida de Ernesto “Che” Guevara, um historiador e psiquiatra argentino dará, a partir do mês que vem, um curso para quem desejar se especializar no guerrilheiro. Mario O'Donnell explica que seu objetivo é resistir às visões que chama de “mitológicas e até idílicas” sobre Guevara. “A aula abordará não só os oito anos que Che passou em Cuba, e que cubanizaram sua memória, mas também os outros 31 anos da vida de um personagem que nasceu e morreu argentino”, afirmou. |

Grief across Latam for migrant killings |

He was warned the journey north would be hard, so Gilmar Morales beefed up on eggs and sausage, bought some ham sandwiches from the bodega across the street, told his mother he loved her and set off with two other relatives on a path well-traveled by young people here in one of Latin America’s poorest countries. |

Trapped Chilean miners forge refuge |
|
Mario Gómez is all too familiar with the hardships of prolonged confinement. While still in his 30s, his family said, he survived as a stowaway on a ship for 11 days, living below deck on little more than bits of chocolate and drops of water collected in a shoe — an ordeal so trying it brought him closer to God. |
