I'll pray, Carmen, even though I believe that ever since God gave us free
will, he doesn't like fixing things for us.

News from Argentina: Rodriguez Saa
(acting president) resigned yesterday. Puerta, his legal sucessor, also
resigned. The cause of Rodriguez Sa� resignation was the lack of support from
other leaders of his own party (peronismo). Now Argentina is suffering from
"acefal�a" (lack of a head). Political leaders are eager to eat their part of
the "cheese", there is now national unity at all. We are worried of having a
civil war. I can say nothing else but ask you to pray for us (if you believe
in God or what so ever).
