Notes

1. Stephen Kinzer, in his review of the Borge memoir entitled The Patient Impatience: From Boyhood to Guerrilla; A Personal Narrative of Nicaragua's Struggle for Liberation (Curbstone Press), writes:

He assumed new identities at will. Sometimes his whims, or the exigencies of the moment, were reflected in the uniform he chose to wear. Like the other eight ruling comandantes, he had a specially designed military uniform, but he wore it only when he appeared with the other leaders … He also had a police uniform and a full firefighting outfit, complete with rubber overcoat. Nicaraguans never knew which uniform, or which Borge, would turn up on any given day (p. 18 of “Self- Portrait of a Revolutionary,” New York Review of Books, 3 December 1992).
