Latin
America is Far From Rejecting Democracy - Carol Graham/London
Financial Times
Some in the media, examining the so-called "crisis of democracy
in Latin America, have concentrated on isolated incidents. Yet
the main trigger for this wave of doomsaying was a report in
May by the United Nations Development Programme on the state
of democracy in Latin America.
Conversation

We are deeply saddened to announce the death of a talented artist,
influential author, and a big fan of Mexico, Joyce Kelly, last
30 August. Joyce lived with her husband Tom, in New
Orleans, where she taught art for many years. We got to
know her through her books, especially the "Archeological
Guide to Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula.

CORRECTIONS
Last month the New York Times published the following
correction:
"In article on Aug. 1 about hiking up Mount Roraima, in
southeastern Venezuela, omitted attribution for some historical
references to 19th-century exploration. They relied on descriptions
at <http://www.thelostworld.org>,
a Web site devoted to natural attractions in Venezuela's southeast."
Kudos to LAMP member Dominic Hamilton for getting
credit due!
