...Galeano's book is a well-researched historical account and, while it does include quotes by Karl Marx, a left-leaning perspective does not rob the book of value.

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...
...says. "It will more than double our range and probably more than double our accuracy." Current sniper rifles can regularly hit trucks at 2,000 meters, but not bad guys.

...right wing, where the junior midfielder was able to give Harvard an 11-9 lead. Cornell responded in a little over a minute when Rocco Romero slipped a shot past Crimson goaltender Joe Pike. The Big Red knotted the score with just 32 seconds remaining in third period. Freshman Rob Pannell found Ryan Hurley from behind the net, one of his five assists on the day, feeding the junior five yards in front of the goal where he tied the score, 11-11. Pannell and Hurley connected again with 11:12 remaining the final period to give...
