     LUGers;
     in a radio interview rebroadcast this morning Korda,
     through an interpreter, was quoted as saying that his
     famous photograph of Che had earned $5 million in the
     first 6 months of it's publication and that he received
     no royalties from same. as the interview unfolded the
     Leica "...how revolutionary should your camera be?"
     ad campaign was referred to repeatedly. seems at the
     time Korda and a team of lawyers were going after
     those using the image for profit.

     regards
