[...] Bolivia's economy was suffering at the hands of fluctuating international markets and a weak agricultural sector that was also seriously under-capitalized and non-competitive; food imports were increasing, reaching an alarming 19 percent of total imports by 1950, also placing a heavy burden on the nation's treasury. U.S. officials have tended to describe the public protestors of the agrarian reform as 'farmers' when in reality they are the lowland agribusiness elite and their flock which all along has tenaciously fought to prevent the assistance needed to fuel the ambitious and agrarian reform initiatives of the government.
EL CHARCOTE, Venezuela - This vast ranch used to be filled with grazing herds of cattle, but the green pastures are now overgrown with weeds and dotted with patches where poor farmers grow corn and beans. The cows have vanished. The 32,000-acre (12,950-hectare) El Charcote Ranch in central Venezuela was meant as a showcase for President Hugo Chavez's agrarian revolution, turning a country with food shortages and runaway inflation into one that could feed itself. But since troops and peasants seized the land from a British agribusiness company four years ago, beef production has dropped from 2.6 million pounds annually to zero.

A lot can happen in 3,500 years. And few things demonstrate that more clearly than art, because art has been embedded in the heart and soul of every culture known to man. But it's not often you get an exhibition that showcases that entire span of history. "Las Artes de Mexico," now on display at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, however, does just that.

In examining the revolutionary characteristics of the concept of the people's right to know, this study calls attention to pecuniary motives behind the American Revolution. During the founding period of the nation, the concept of the people's right to know-closely tied to the financial transparency of various taxes levied, the allocation of natural resources, and the proper education of the public-was repeatedly articulated and underscored as one of the most important democratic principles: the embodiment of the transcendent idealism of the democratic yearning of the people.

With the year drawing to a close it's time to look back at the individuals and groups who made Chesapeake - and the world - that much brighter, more vibrant and more reflective.
