Condoleezza Rice - The Soviet Union and the Czechoslovak Army
Joseph Kalvoda
Thursday, 02. October 2003
Rice's selection of sources raises questions, since he frequently does not sift facts from propaganda and valid information from disinformation or misinformation. He passes judgments and expresses opinions without adequate knowledge of facts.

Remembering The Struggle: The Mexican Communist League - 23 de Septiembre
Gregorio J. Varela Moreno
Thursday, 31. July 2003
In the attempt to overthrow an all-powerful, authoritarian regime, at what point does political violence come to be considered the only meaningful way forward? In the history of some countries, this question has little significance at all. In others, however, it is a question which sooner or later cannot be avoided, and indeed comes to dominate the entire process of political debate. Such has been the case in Mexico.

Seville and Luis Cernuda
José Maria Barrera López
Sunday, 13. October 2002
In much of what Luis Cernuda wrote in exile, Seville becomes a new myth within his work. The writer's different visions of the city of his birth become more acute with temporal and spatial distance. And from a distance, almost paradoxically, he casts his ethical and aesthetic gaze over it, conditioning his search for an intense inner world and, at the same time, his self-exile from the realities of his youth. Nobody has succeeded as well as Cernuda at expressing the ambivalence of affinity and dissension towards a city so beloved of artists and writers through the centuries, and so often depicted by them. Whit an architecture that was wavering between Modernism, Regionalism and the first great city planning projects, Seville awoke to the new century, like the poet who had just been born on 21 Semptember 1902, with indolent eyes and longings and ideals for the future. Its trasformations were pointing the way towards the Ibero-american Exibition of 1929, already awaited with expectaction.

This is an account of one unspecified working day in the life of a peripatetic English teacher in Prague. It will surely strike a chord in the heart of every native English teacher.......and may be of interest to the impartial observer too. I am in your hands.

The European option
Gusztáv Molnár
Monday, 31. March 2003
It seems more and more likely that this “funny war” – from the American point of view – is coming too late (it would have been much easier to launch it last year, after the military success in the war against Afghanistan), while it is giving Europe an unexpected opportunity to harmonise the “people’s voice” with the will of the political elite, and to re-launch the older scheme of “Europe puissance”, helping, thus, the emergence of Europe as an independent geopolitical entity.

Reckless Administration May Reap Disastrous Consequences
Robert Byrd
Sunday, 23. February 2003
To engage in war is always to pick a wild card. And war must always be a last resort, not a first choice. I truly must question the judgment of any President who can say that a massive unprovoked military attack on a nation which is over 50% children is "in the highest moral traditions of our country". This war is not necessary at this time.

France: between democratic fatigue and the politics of fear
Jacques Rupnik
Monday, 20. May 2002
The landscape of European politics is changing. Until three years ago 12 out of 15 governments of the EU were social-democrats. Now the pendulum has shifted to the Right and even to the far Right exploiting a post-september 11 perceived interaction between domestic and external security issues. This poses new questions and new dilemmas for the mainsream democratic parties of the Right and Left.
