THE CHICANO MORATORIUM AUGUST 29, 1970
STILL REMEMBERED AFTER 35 YEARS.
“THE DAY POLICE RIOTED!”
By Herman Baca
Thirty-five years later, I still vividly remember what happened to me personally and politically in Los Angeles, California on August 29, 1970. Thirty thousand Chicanos from throughout the U.S. marched in the streets to protest and call for an end to the war in Vietnam. A war, much like Iraq today, that was destroying our most precious heritage...our youth. On that day, a police riot ensued and Los Angeles Times Reporter Ruben Salazar, along with citizens Angel Diaz and Lynn Ward were killed. Numerous persons were wounded and hundreds were jailed by the L.A. Police and Sheriff’s Department, including national Chicano leader, Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzales.

Incógnitas En Las Elecciones México 2006
Las elecciones presidenciales del año próximo en México tienen nuevos condimentos que las hacen muy atractivas. Y muy preocupantes.
Por Eduardo Stanley
A distancia, las elecciones del 2006 en México serán como las anteriores, cuando Vicente Fox se convirtió en el candidato que derrotó al Partido de la Revolución Institucional (PRI), después de 71 años en el poder. En gran medida, el triunfo del Partido de Acción Nacional (PAN) en el 2000 ocurrió gracias al apoyo ciudadano que buscaba un cambio. El mensaje del entonces candidato Vicente Fox era “cambio” y un “alto” a la corrupción.

Fundación Tabgha
Por Luis Alonso Pérez
En Tijuana, la sociedad ha aprendido a realizar cosas grandes con los pocos recursos disponibles, ya sea reduciendo, reuniendo, reestructurando, reusando o reciclando. En parte, gracias a la imaginación de las personas, pero en gran medida, por las profundas necesidades económicas de la comunidad. Se ha hecho normal “hacer algo de la nada”.

Editorial:
Hispanics Support Curbs on Immigration!!!
Not exactly breaking news
For some reason, the fact that Hispanics support curbs on immigration comes as a surprise to some. The fact that not all who are labeled as being Hispanic, are in favor of an open border, is again being seen as some sort of new revelation. This information comes from the Pew Hispanic Center that recently released a survey in which it states “…relatively few Hispanics favor increasing the flow of legal immigration from Latin America and a significant minority, concentrated among native-born Latinos, is concerned that unauthorized migrants are hurting the economy…”

National City Spotlight:
Blight Between the Eyes
By Ted Godshalk
It is starting to look like every place is blighted in someone’s eyes. National City, like many other communities, is wrestling with serious redevelopment issues including eminent domain and the determination of blight. The egregious abuse of power by many cities has been well documented by organizations like The Institute for Justice, CastleCoalition.org, as well as the news shows Sixty Minutes and the PBS News Hour. In past columns I have called for the Redevelopment Corporation (CDC) in National City to be dissolved, with the assets transferred to the financially strapped city government. This hasn’t happened yet. Maybe they’re studying it.

Our Kids are Fighting a War that will Settle Nothing
By Ernie McCray
After reading about an 18 year old marine reservist who paid the ultimate price in Iraq, I now more than ever want our young warriors brought home. I mean, excuse me, but 18 year olds dying trying to liberate people who hadn’t asked to be liberated sickens me.

La Hipocresía de Pat Robertson
Por Humberto Caspa, Ph.D
Los comentarios Pat Robertson, fundador de la Coalición Cristiana de América y ex candidato a la presidencia en 1988, en contra del presidente de Venezuela Hugo Chávez, rectifica su carácter fundado en la hipocresía y el cinismo. Robertson dice predicar la palabra de Dios, la hermandad de la gente y la paz en la tierra, pero en el fondo es capaz de darle una puñalada al mejor de sus amigos.

Bullfight story incomplete
I read your article “What is Bullfighting to Americans, and Americans to Bullfighting?” from August 12, 2005 in La Prensa. While you illustrate the standard favorable description of bullfighting, I was disappointed that the complete picture was conveniently covered in your description.

Notas Politicas:

Exposición Los niños Xi’ui de Las Nuevas Flores
Por Luis Alonso Pérez
Existe un lugar en el Estado de Querétaro, en lo alto de la Sierra Gorda, donde el ruido, el tráfico y las luces de la ciudad no han contaminado los campos verdes y deshabitados que nos transportan a un México de otros tiempos. A este sitio se le conoce como Las Nuevas Flores, una de las comunidades más marginadas de la sierra, donde no existen los servicios básicos como luz y agua. Un pequeño lugar habitado por 11 familias del grupo indígena Xi’ui, una de las etnias más desconocidas de México.

By Francisco H. Ciriza
Having played alongside the likes of such famed and accomplished musicians and performers as Mick Taylor, Billy Joel, and Phil Collins, Elliot Murphy may just be the most unheralded major artist most music fans have never heard of. His music can be described as a natural and minimalist, post-Dylan poetic rock propelled by driving acoustic and electric guitars and harmonica.

Bullfight World

Professionals In The Afternoon
A pair of Sundays ago, Plaza El Toreo de Tijuana presented an “afternoon of youth”. While the empresa is to be applauded for giving opportunities to young, unknown toreros, the afternoon opened a can of worms that summarizes one of the biggest problems in Mexican bullfighting, today.
