But the coincidence of the two events was devastating. This afternoon we're hoilding an event at the University, bringing together students from my wifes graduate program in intercultural/bilingual education (largely indigenous poepl, including three Mapuche from Chile) and my undergrads from the US. Audiovisuals of the UP, coup and aftermath, followed by commentary from three Chileans who lived the coup, and were variously jailed, exiled, etc. For one, who went into exile in Bolivia, it is the first time he will speak publicly of his experience. You are all invited! Humanities Department, UMSS, Cochabamba, 3:30pm today. And from friend in Chile today I hear that protests have been going all week; today should be particularaly heated. Yesterday in Valparaiso 40 were arrested. Tom Tom Kruse / Casilla 5812 / Cochabamba, Bolivia Tel/Fax: (591-4) 248242 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
