Che Chic

摘要

It took nearly 30 years for the rugged Bolivian mountains to give up the final secret about Ernesto (Che) Guevara. Late last month, near the remote town of Valle-grande, a team of Cuban and Argentine scientists knelt inside a deep pit before seven dusty skeletons. They were all but certain that the pit contained the remains of the legendary guerrilla leader, who was executed by Bolivian troops on Oct. 9, 1967. The scientists homed in on "Skeleton No. 2," which was lying face down, its skull shrouded by a moldy olive army jacket like the one Che was photographed in after his capture. Another grisly clue: the skeleton was missing both hands. After his execution, Che's hands were sawed off and preserved in formaldehyde to prove to disbelievers that he truly was dead.
