Wall Street Journal columnist Mary Anastasia O’Grady points out the real heroics that Hollywood misses in its fawning over Che. That would be the story of those who still yearn for freedom in the insufferable “worker’s paradise” Che helped create. The miserable Argentine was killed in 1967 in the Bolivian Andes while trying to spread revolution in South America. But his vision of how to govern lives ...
