What's the reason for your more than 20-point lead in voters polls? My advantage is largely a product of President Kirchner's political project, which has produced strong economic growth without the unemployment and institutional ruptures we saw as a result of the neoliberal capitalist reforms of the 1990s, which brought on the crisis. For most of the 20th century, such ruptures in Argentina and Latin America were usually a result of military coups; but after the fall of the Berlin Wall they've often resulted from following the Washington Consensus [U.S.-backed capitalist reform policies...
...that combating human rights abuses is a thing of the past or just a thing that only leftists and progressives worry about instead of seeing it as an ongoing process of human beings. My hope is that Argentina becomes a human rights role model in the world as a result of our efforts.

A similar artistic quality was present...
...Heaven”—you realize that you are about to embark upon an inspiring yet excruciating true-life journey that plays painful tricks on your nerves. When you hand one of these stories to Sean Penn to adapt and direct for the big screen, the result is full exhaustion of the mind, body, and soul. His portrayal of “Into the Wild” traces the steps of a young Christopher McCandless, who graduated from college in the 1990s, took on an ascetic lifestyle, searched for something by embracing nothing, and ventured head first into...
