Grad School in the 1970s

Dear Younguns',

Back in my years in graduate school(1970s), almost everyone in my Latin American Political Science program were ex-military and/or Green Berets. They would tell stories about their time in Latin America...especially in Central America, in the jungles of Panama and whatnot. They used to JOKE AROUND on a regular basis about how running over iguanas was just like running over 'the peasants'. Can you believe it?

Well, I hope things have improved since those days....

Sincerely,
la vieja mula
