(Children"s Issue)

Dear June Erlick,
I just wanted to pass on congratulations on another terrific issue of ReVista. I thought the Winter number on Children was stunning in both its depth and breadth. You managed to bring together so many issues, concerns, and approaches to understanding the lives of children in Latin America and more broadly in our globalized world. I'm impressed.
Keep it up!
Best,
Liz Cohen

(Human Rights Issue)

Estimada June Erlick:
Quizás pueda interesarle la siguiente información. Es una coincidencia feliz,
que indica un aporte de Harvard al Informe de la Comisión de la Verdad y
Reconciliación del Perú. Yo he participado en el Harvard Project on Justice in Times of Transition - Peruvian Intelligence Reform Initiative.
http://www.ksg.harvard.edu/justiceproject/perureport.htm. Y como investigador de la CVR, he sido el encargado de producir y redactar el capítulo sobre las Fuerzas Armadas (www.cverdad.org.pe).
En la parte sobre operaciones especiales de inteligencia se han usado criterios de análisis desarrollados por el grupo de Harvard.
Muy cordialmente,
Dr. Ciro Alegría Varona

To whom it may concern:
I have justly read the Fall 2003 issue of your ReVista; I am impressed by the many articles centered on an important matter for Latin American and its people, as it was THE HUMAN RIGHTS for this particular issue. I think that those readers who are familiar with the present reality of Latin America will agreed with the content of the paper signed by John H. Coatsworth on Internationalizing HumanRights, especially with his last two prophetic paragraphs. Is there some hope that the U.S. authorities in charge of foreign affairs could take Mr. Coatsworth"s advices into consideration for changing their bossy policies toward Latin America and its peoples?.
I remain,
Very sincerely yours,

June,
I´ve got the magazines last week and I´m having a delightful time reading the spring edition. The articles are not as long as I was expecting and the writing is simple and didactic. What else could I ask -- especially as a foreign reader? It´s a great magazine, an incredible source of first class information that make me feel like reading a book about Colombia. Congratulations! This is the kind of work that we all dream about. You´re lucky, June, and so I am for having access to such a helpful publication.
Thanks a lot!
