Auction of 'Che' Guevara's hair drawing opposition

>From Staff Reports

Heritage Auction Galleries has stepped up security for its sale of a
purported lock of Ernesto "Che" Guevara's hair after receiving
threatening e-mails.

"I guess some people think it's disrespectful of us to be selling a
lock of Che's hair," spokeswoman Kelley Norwine said. "Some people are
not happy about it."

Heritage is planning an Oct. 25-26 sale of Che-related memorabilia
belonging to Gustavo Villoldo, who was hired by the CIA to capture the
Argentine hailed as a revolutionary hero in Cuba. Mr. Villoldo, 71,
claims to have snipped the lock of hair before burying Che.

Tuesday was the 40th anniversary of Che's death at the hands of
Bolivian soldiers.
