...American exploitation. This is not a difficult case to make when you're talking about colonialism. But with leftist leaders like Chavez and Bolivia's Evo Morales assuming power of 21st century Latin American governments, it's important to understand how they think we got here and who they hold responsible. Therefore, Galeano's 1971 book is still worth reading today...
...Kindle Me Delighted If Josh Quittner were elderly with macular degeneration, he would be as thrilled as my Kindle-loving 76-year-old husband [March 30]. The print can be made larger.

Fares start...
Love may mean never having to say you're sorry to those you hold dear, but it turns out apologizing is a pretty good way of cheesing off your enemies. Just ask French Socialist politician Ségolène Royal, who's infuriating foes on the right and left alike by making apologies for President Nicolas Sarkozy, the man who beat her out for the Elysée two years...
