In 1974, SL lost control of the university, but it had already succeeded in creating a "revolutionary consciousness" in the population of Ayacucho.8 Other Latin American communist movements followed Che Guevara 'sfoco method and brought their ideologies to rural areas.9 Guzman's followers were not foreigners or crusading children from the urban middle class, they were a part of the impoverished rural population already.

Dear Joyce: Recently, I was asked to do a phone screening (first- cut) interview. it was not with a person but with a recorded voice! Answering automated questions was cold, rigid and impersonal - I didn't like it at all. Have automated phone interviews become common? - S.L.
