The famous Che Guevara pic seen on t-shirts and posters was a cropped version of one taken by Alberto Korda in March 1960. Korda’s real name was Alberto Díaz Gutiérrez and he was a KGB agent, as revealed by Soviet-Bloc intelligence defector Ion Pacepa. The cropped picture was spread throughout the world by I. Lavretsky and Giangicomo Fetrinelli, respectively full-time and part-time KGB agents, as also revealed by Pacepa.
It appears that the one in RFK’s office is the original un-cropped version–quite an HONOR!…
In brief: the Robert F. Kennedy houselhold contained a Che Guevara pic. So the one in the (recent, but since FRANTICALLY deleted!) post by Mariah Cuomo (Ethel Kennedy’s grand-daughter) hints at the pic being taken at grandma Ethel Kennedy’s home, which was probably the one in McLaen Virginia where she lived with the late RFK…..

Well, well, WELL!–look at what the New York Post ran WELL AFTER BABALU BLOG BROKE THE STORY! (and confirming it almost word for word) ….the Johnny-come-lately New York Post’s story here.
Mariah. Right. Because that’s so Italian, or so much cooler (or whatever) than Maria. Ugh.
The Kennedys were outrageously overrated, but that’s not their fault. What is their fault is acting as if there were any real basis for that, and of course using it to their advantage.
