Quote from Thomas C. Wright's State Terrorism in Latin America:
"Through their aid in the overthrow of Allende [the president of Chile] and their support of the Pinochet dictatorship, President Richard Nixon and his national security adviser, Henry Kissenger, sent a clear signal to all of Latin America that antirevolutionary regimes employing repression, even state terrorism, could count on the support of the United States."
Hey remember when you had a birthday last year, and to get out of coming, I smashed my car into a tree and Micah and I hung out in the hospital? That was a great time.
Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into the swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode.
ma and I got out the ol' Christmas music collection today. Listened to yours, remembered how much you enjoyed being here. We'd still love to have you and Tara here sometime.
thanks for that diploma pic. it prints out nicely and it's helped me score a sweet senior pastor job at westmore and also a sweet gig at bi lo. i owe you dude.
i have a present for you from Micah and me. i shall hold it hostage until you come visit us in Denver. Or move to Denver. Or, hell, I'm stuck in Winston-Salem for the next few days--come visit me here!
