America with a capital "A" -- Che Guevara

I wrote this book in 1992, the 500th anniversary of the European invasion of America.  In the United States, October 12th is still celebrated as "Columbus Day" even though Columbus never set foot on the North American continent. He did set foot on America further to the south, in Venezuela, where October 12th is now celebrated as "Indigenous Resistance Day."

The Battle for America (a story that may become a book)

This story is not about the United States of America, the "little america." It's about the "Big America," the whole Western Hemisphere, the place that has always been known as "America" for the past five centuries. Although the United States has presumed it could speak for all of America for the past one hundred years or so, the rest of the nations in this half of the world are now deciding that they can speak and act for themselves. 

Fidel's WMDs versus Bush's WMDs

One confrontation that has been brewing for 45 years is the United States versus Cuba.  George W. Bush and Dick Cheney have been acting more and more belligerent, as if they believed that their WMDs, the most deadly collection of weapons of mass destruction in the world, are superior to Cuba's own brand of WMDs. What they ignore, at their peril, is that Cuba's WMDs are "World Medical Doctors," a force for peaceful cooperation that has won the admiration of people the world over (except in the United States, where almost everyone, including the media, is unaware of their existence.) 

How can the U.S. assortment of nuclear and biological warheads compete with tens of thousands of highly trained, humanitarian physicians?  Two college students from Pennsylvania recently met one of the Cuban WMDs, Dr. Eulogio, an ophthamologist who is working at a clinic in the town of Sanare, Venezuela.
