Evo, the Fraud and the Coup

By Jorge Ramos Avalos, November 20, 2019 November 20, 2019
Evo, the Fraud and the Coup

From Pinochet to Maduro

From Pinochet to Maduro

Elena Poniatowska and the Massacre of 1968

The blood was still on the ground. On the evening of Oct. 2, 1968, the administration of Mexican President Gustavo Díaz Ordaz orchestrated a massacre of student protesters in Mexico City’s Tlatelolco Square. Hundreds — we will never know exactly how many — were gunned down by the army and the police.

Oriana Fallaci: A Life Asking Questions

By Jorge Ramos Avalos, April 4, 2018 April 5, 2018
Oriana Fallaci: A Life Asking Questions

Oriana Fallaci was quite a remarkable interviewer. For journalists who grew up before the era of computers, the internet and smartphones, few events were more anticipated than the one-on-one interviews conducted by this renowned Italian journalist. She aggressively confronted those in power, and her articles almost always ended in controversy.

Dr. Q’s Hands

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The brain is pulsating in front of me — I never imagined that the brain could pulsate as the heart does. It’s beige, almost light brown. Purple veins and arteries sprawl like a spider web.
