...very positive results compared to the projected statistics,” Rockefeller Center Director of Brazil Studies Kenneth Maxwell said. One panel at the conference, coordinated by David A. Martin ’07 and Erin E. Goodman, the Brazil program officer at the Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies, was devoted to a discussion of Harvard’s role in mitigating the epidemic. In addition to academic studies which have provided insight into the problem, David described several trips to Brazil where he helped to distribute over a million free condoms. David said when he visited Carnival...
...Trung describes Pax Thien (a name in two languages, the Latin for "peace" and the Vietnamese for "sky") as a bright and amiable boy,though with a tendency to be laughing one moment and then turning suddenly shy, as he apparently did when he started crying when he met Jolie on the day he was adopted. "It's common for ophans to be shy. When they play in a group or team, he's very active, but shy once separated...
...Like Martin Sheen's President Bartlet, Rhys Meyers' Henry is appealingly curious about the world around him. "We live in a political climate that is so anti-intellectual," says Beem. "The Tudors are the best-educated monarchs ever to get on the English throne. Henry wrote a book in Latin."

Housing day is upperclass life at its best—24 hours entirely devoted to bragging rights, displays of pride, latin mottos, and face painting. Head over to Annenberg; if you’re quadded, enjoy it and take pictures of all your friends who are in the gulag—er, Mather. Next year, you’ll need them for your candlelight vigil once they disappear off the face...
...Another ugly paradox is that neither NAFTA nor other Washington-backed free-market reforms have reduced illegal immigration - or quieted a resurgent left across Latin America, led by Venezuela's anti-U.S. President Hugo Chavez. After winning last year's controversial presidential election with just 36% of the vote, the conservative Calderon has worked his way to a 58% approval rating. That might be enough cover to delve deeper into new initiatives for Mexico's development, whether in microbanks, health care or schools. Across the street from Xu Nuu Ndavi, a $300,000 church is rising in Santa Cruz...
