...recounted Father Roy Bourgeios, founder of the 16-year-old organization dedicated to closing the institution, during an interview in his old home of Bolivia. An ex-U.S. Marine, Bourgeios lived as a Maryknoll priest in South America's poorest country during the dictatorship of SOA graduate Hugo Banzer in the 1970s. Bourgeois hopes to make more governments see that WHINSEC has become an anachronism, a relic of the U.S.'s big-stick foreign policy in Latin America. "A school that has no students," he says, "will have to shut down...
...Panama to Georgia - can be linked to any crime. "When [Argentine junta leader] Galtieri was here in 1949, he took an engineering course," Rials says.

Full-time mothering was thus not an option--and full-time baby-sitters were too expensive. Instead, she turned to a team of child-care providers she knew could do the job: her mother and two aunts. The three...
...sort of naivete or ideological partisanship which determines "guilt" of an international development adviser by the regime with which he "associates." In my career in the Agency for International Development (AID), I have worked with such motley regimes as those of Torrijos in Panama, Velasco in Peru, Banzer in Bolivia, Burnham in Guyana and Somoza in Nicaragua. Like most Third World countries, none of them were models of participative democracy.
