Love in the time of revolution, part 1

Pepe and Lucía: the guerrilla lovers who became the leaders of Uruguay When they were younger, José Pepe Mujica and Lucía Topolansky separately joined a left-wing insurgency set on overthrowing the country's government. They wouldn't meet for years but they were on the same mission.
