Martí the
journalist
January 25,
2007
JOURNALISM occupied a good part of
the life and interests of José Martí, who published
his first article in the press just a few days
before he turned 16 years old. While posterity has
established the literary image of Martí as a poet,
his contemporaries knew and admired him above all
because of his newspaper articles, given that the
two books of poetry that he was able to publish with
his own money were distributed by him to his friends
and acquaintances as gifts, while more than a dozen
Hispanic-American newspapers featured his writings.
And it is evident that that universe of newspaper
readers was far larger than those who knew his
poetry.

Leonard
Peltier - 28 years in prison that everyone
recognizes is one of the greatest injustices in US

people fear he may die behind bars.

My
grandfather is an obsession
April

MARIANO
is searching in Cuba for his grandfather, a man
who never had time to take him to a park and of
whom he will never have recollections of a
white-haired old man telling children’s
stories—in many ways the ideal grandfather that
all human beings have either had or wished they
had.

Luis Baez to
bat
March

TO
tell the truth, I can’t say that I saw it in the
eyes of that young man whom I met in an editor’s
office more than 40 years ago, but I was convinced
that some day his name would appear among the most
successful journalists of our time.
