...Balmori’s disillusionment with both the new government and the process by which it was instated. “The issue isn’t who has power,” he says. “The issue is that during the election there were an equal number of candidates as there were spots. We want a democratic transition, true multiparty elections.”Neither Lage, Balmori nor Velo find promise in Raul’s presidency.

So use nature’s built-in thesis break to leave your room, go to the dining hall, and encounter actual people (who aren’t your thesis adviser). Try to leave the length of your meal open-ended to allow for stimulating conversation. If a friend asks...
