Braun, latinn american historian here at the university of texas. It gives me great pleasure to have read these papers and now meet the gentleman who have written these papers. I worked on the 1960s. I see certain similarities and what is going on in the 1960s with that which transpired between the United States and latin america in the 1980s as well any papers. What we would like to do is i contestantsce the excuse me, the presenters. We are going to have the two papers on Central America first. Then we will turn our attention to south america because it is two different things. South america is dealing with the end of military governments, longterm military governments.

Block. They were. That meant there was a lot more out there. In addition to looking at private collection at world war ii started reading county newspapers from all around the state. I did want to try to cover all areas of the state. I have succeeded to some degree but actually not as much as id like to because some towns where i thought there would be letters to the editor about publication from the boys overseas were not any. There could be just to the addition of the paper to get a microfilm that was not the addition that had the letters. The different additions used to be.
