Title: Target pulls Che CD case after barrage of criticsm

"Miami's Cuban exile community collectively gasped at hte use of Fidel Castro's one-time right-hand man to sell music accessories...saying Guevara was one of history's brutal mass murderers"

"questioned Target's move to cash in on Guevara's cult status in some circles, particularly rebellious youth"

"But Guevara's cult status among disaffected youth and others unhappy with the state of the world has endured"

"On occasion, even in staunchly anti-Castro Miami, Saavedra has come across folks sporting Che T-shirts. While doing air conditioning work in Miami Beach several months ago [Saavedra] says he saw the teenage son of his customer wearing one. Saavedra privately approached the father, who was unaware of Che's biograpy and offered a free history lesson in world political history. The customer asked Saavedra to take the shirt with him on the way out."
