Says CMA CEO Jacques Saadé: "[Big] shipping companies have made good profits over the past few years; they have the means to buy smaller companies." CMA had $4.95 billion in revenues last year and has been expanding rapidly...
Cinco minutos de conversaci?n con Mari Carmen Ram?rez y te das cuenta de que es una evangelista. No del tipo que predica sobre Dios. A quien quiere que conozcas es a Gego, el escultor venezolano nacido en Alemania ?que solo ahora empezamos a redescubrir?, o a Joaqu?n Torres Garc?a, el artista uruguayo que usa toques precolombinos en su estilo moderno. Como te dir? Ram?rez felizmente, su misi?n es ?presentarle al mundo la riqueza y el significado del arte latino y latinoamericano del siglo...
