LETTERS.Great Stuff YOU GUYS ARE DOING GREAT JOURNALISM. What I planned as a brief visit to your Web site turned into an afternoon of reading. It is a great resource for those of us who are trying to learn about the markets our customers serve.

As of the 2000 census, Waukesha had a total population of 64,826. Pale Baby I HAVE BEEN ENJOYING LATIN TRADE Latin Trade is a monthly magazine covering global business in Latin America and the Caribbean. Similar to Forbes and Fortune Magazine in coverage, the magazine was founded in 1993 and now publishes 87,000 copies 1 each month in Spanish, Portuguese, and English. FOR some time now and one thing caught my attention in the April 2000 edition. The cover featuring the baby representing the young CEOs in the region didn't look very Latin. Although lots of Hispanics are white, I think most of us have a little darker complexion. Germ[acute{a}]n Carmona Bloomington, Minnesota Flagging View I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED LATIN TRADE FOR ITS coverage of Latin American business until I read the last page of the March 2000 issue ("Flagging Coursework"). I see your "Point Of View" as, frankly, ignorant of Mexico's reality. Yes, many bright students do study in private universities but not all. The best biologists, for example, study in Mexico's public universities, which have the best laboratories and resources for the development of their careers. UNAM has the best libraries and researchers in Mexico. Is that irrelevant? Such a great magazine, such poor vision.

Would LATIN TRADE recommend a Fidel Castro-inspired Web site that protests the United States or the exiled Cuban community? I don't think so. Then why would you suggest that readers look at the ELN Noun 1. ELN - a Marxist terrorist group formed in 1963 by Colombian intellectuals who were inspired by the Cuban Revolution; responsible for a campaign of mass kidnappings and resistance to the government's efforts to stop the drug trade; "ELN kidnappers target Web site (March 2000)? This is an organization that finances itself, and probably its Web site, by kidnapping, extorting and killing thousands of honest Colombians, not to mention drug smuggling smuggling, illegal transport across state or national boundaries of goods or persons liable to customs or to prohibition. Smuggling has been carried on in nearly all nations and has occasionally been adopted as an instrument of national policy, as by Great Britain and oil pipe bombings. I hope this is just a temporary loss of sight and not another example of the U.S. media being incredibly na[ddot{i}]ve and culturally insensitive.
