Hey San Francisco and Portland, hey Boston and New York.  Brag if you will of your new bicycle lanes and bike lending programs.  Boast of your Critical Masses choking the streets with two-wheelers and showing the car what&#8217;s what.  Look down your noses if you wish at lowly Cochabamba with its population of squeaky used [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Readers:
This week marks the anniversary in Bolivia (August 22, 1971) of the coming to power of one of the nation&#8217;s most brutal dictatorial regimes – the coup led by General Hugo Banzer. 
Abroad the coup is a little known event, a blip in a blurry history of a nation that famously suffered so many coups and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Readers, 
Week after week a parade of foreigners comes through Cochabamba seeking some sort of wisdom about Bolivian &#8220;social movements.&#8221;  Academics, journalists and others come drawn to the sense that in some way Bolivians have taken democratic matters into their own hands from the ground up.  They come to seek it out the way Ponce de [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the sights that many first time visitors to Bolivia mention when they come here is the legion of child laborers on the country&#8217;s streets.  It is a hard fact of life, not in Bolivia, but in almost any impoverished nation in the world.  Small girls walking from café to café selling gum.  Boys [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Readers,
As you can tell I am spending these winter weeks in Cochabamba doing a good deal more reading than writing (as it should be sometimes) and I want to draw your attention to an important article written by a friend, William Finnegan of the New Yorker.
This week marks the date when the state of Arizona [...]]]></description>
