CONCACAF TOWARDS WORLD CUP USA '94

Matches played on Sunday, November 15, 1992

At St. Vincent.

   ST. VICENT - COSTA RICA       0 - 1

      Ronald Gonzales scored the only goal at '52 minute.
      With this victory, Costa Rica takes the second place
      in group A by goal difference over Honduras.

   CANADA - BERMUDAS             4 - 2

      The canadians just need one more point to clinch a
      berth to the third round. For Bermudas, this loss
      ended their world cup hopes.

   MEXICO - HONDURAS             2 - 0

      A superb goal by Jose Manuel 'Chepo' de la Torre
      at the 11th minute opened the door for the mexican
      squad. Francisco Uribe added one more at the 57th
      minute. Mexico moves up to first place and will
      play host to Costa Rica this Sunday. Honduras will
      travel to St. Vicent to meet the islanders also
      this Sunday.

Taesa ofrece vuelos de Chicago al D.F., y de Chicago a Guadalajara, con un
costo de mas o menos $350 viaje redondo.  Yo hable con Taesa aqui en Chicago.

Y segun el articulo del NYT, Taesa tiene vuelos a New York City, Puerto Rico

Como si no fuera poco, ayer se anuncio que la seleccion nacional
jugara su proximo encuentro en el Estadio Azulgrana y no en el
Estadio Azteca como se habia previsto.  Al parecer, la cancha
del Azteca esta algo maltratada por la lluvia y la cantidad de
partidos que se juegan en el immueble. Creo que Cruz Azul y America
juegan de local el sabado y domingo, respectivamente en una semana y
en la otra juega el Necaxa de local. En cambio, el Azulgrana es usado
cada otra semana porque el Atlante es el unico que juega alli.

American y Continental. Mexicana fue la que inicio esta

A pesar que los precios son iguales cabe mencionar que
el servicio de Mexicana se lleva de calle al de American

son que en Mexicana te dan vinos franceses, champan~a,

bien cualquier trago que te tomes ('leeeros). 
Tambien cabe mencionar que las aeromozas de Mexicana son
muchisimo mas bonitas y mas simpaticas que la rucas (ya estan

All information from the Mexico and Central American Handbook.  The
only apparent alternative transit via MC to Lazaro Cardenas is bus.
The bus from PV to Manzanillo is an overnigh trip; from Manzanillo to
LC is an additional 7 hours.  Ixtapa and Zihuatenejo are much closer
to LC; why not go to one of them instead of PV?

Hola a todos,

	En el New York Times del miercoles 18 encontre lo siguiente (tienen 
esta noticia?):

	 MEXICANS PREPARE ELECTION PROTEST: The Opposition in Two Sstates
Vows to Press Campaigns of civil disobedience.

	MEXICO CITY, Nov 17.- More than a week after Mexico's ruling party
rolled to what were officially counted as easy victories in elections in three
states, opposition leaders in two of them vowed today to press campaigns of
civil disobedience until the votes were overturned.
	Oppsotion charges of fraud have long been the rule than the exception
of extended political conflict in areas where the opposition's strength is
relatively limited underscored the growing pressure on President Carlos Salinas
de Gortari to quicken the pace of change in a system long dominated by his
Institutional Revolutionary Party.

	"If they are going to talk about democracy when they go abroad, they
are going to have to prove it here" a leader of the conservative opposition in
the northwestern agricultural state pfg Sinaloa, Rafael Nun~ez, said of the
President and his aides.  "People are getting madder every day and they are
not going to let this just pass"


	In Sinaloa, where Mr. Nun~ez's National Action Party has challenged the
results from more than 2,600 of 3,916 polling places, the oppositionhas plans
for marches and sit-ins beginning on Friday.  The party's gubernatorial 
candidate, Emilio Goicoechea, said he would also take complaints about the 
election to international human rights tribunals and foreing human tights
groups.

	OPOSITION ON DEFENSIVE
	In the border state of Tamaulipas, opposition leaders seemed to be on
the defensive after the Government moved quickly to prosecute a handful of
their supporters for ransacking a city elections office last week.  But as the
leaders prepared to meet with federal political officials, some of them 
insisted that the protests would continue until their demands were met.
	Government officials said they were determined no to cede under
pressure what htey had won at the polls.  They emphasized that the opposition
parties had yet yo prove their claim of fraud, and even some national
opposition officials acknowledged that their parties' chances of overturning
the votes seemed remote.

        El Cielo
  Por Maruja Torres

        Menos mal que no soy catolica.  Solo me faltaria, con el termo
roto y la nevera destripada, en un perfecto dia estupido como el de hoy,
desayunarme con el anuncio papal de que en el cielo tampoco habra sexo.
Verdaderamente, los fieles tienen una cruz con este hombre, y no
hablemos ya de los creyentes masculinos que formen parte de esa cifra
de 20,000 operados con protesis de pene que figuran en las estadisticas.
Que gasto mas tonto, y cuan corto me lo fiais, Santidad.
        Y hay mas.  Las recientes declaraciones del inefable pontifice
nos proporcionan la prueba irrefutable de su virginidad, lo cual
deberia intranquilizar enormemente a sus seguidores.  Yo tenia
esperanza de que, durante su juventud, y alla en su Polonia natal, el
santo hombre hubiera disfrutado por lo menos de un par de revolcones,
entre otro par de banyos helados en el Vistula, y que tanta
prohibicion y tanta tabarra con el tema le viniera, precisamente,
de una especie de lucha interior, no, una cosa como de mucha
friccion entre sus apetitos juguetones y su casta entrega a la
Santa Madre Iglesia.
        Parece que no.  Este hombre es, sencillamente, un ignorante.
Alguien que, habiendose perdido lo mejor de la vida, decide que los
demas tampoco lo disfruten, y que si lo hacen, les remuerda la
conciencia.  Y lo que es peor:  es alguien que desconoce que la
unica razon poderosa para creer en Dios no es otra que el amor
fisico que, sin anuncio previo, convierte a dos desconocidos en
miembros de la conspiracion mas hermosa: la del placer.  Si este
hombre no sabe que el acto amoroso -en cualquiera de sus
variantes- es lo mas similar que tenemos en la Tierra al hallazgo
del Santo Grial es que no vale ni pa cura ni pa na.
        Porque el abrazo del otro es lo unico que se parece al
cielo.

Some musings about commissions....

A friend of mine at LRC was working on this issue in Kwandebele when I
met him in mid 1986. Hell of a lot of good these findings are going to
do for the people who were injured and killed and otherwise damaged at
the time.

De Klerk's strategies are malevolent and clever. In the past it was
pretty easy to know exactly what was what, and who stood where: PW was
at least pretty straightforward about his approach - there was no
question that he was a "bad guy". FW, on the other hand, cleverly
manages to cloud a number of issues. His commissions of enquiry seem
central to the myth that he is interested in seeing justice done. My
impression is that the commissions are essentially a smokescreen for
"business as usual". Have you noticed:  

(a) the timing of these reports (particularly re publication)? 
(b) the ratio of media coverage to action taken against people and 
    institutions implicated?
(c) the fact that their existence doesn't stop the same kinds of practices 
    from continuing?

The problem is that some people have been convinced that De Klerk is a
statesman and an honest broker, and they want to believe it, and his
smooth publicity helps perpetuate the myth. I don't think there's any
question any more about the dishonesty of his politics, or their
cynicism.

The good news - his term of office expires in 1994, so he has to do
something about an interim government before then.

The fact that a judicial commission of enquiry, appointed by the state,
obtained this evidence from a witness brought before it by the S.A.
police?  That's new, and vaguely encouraging.  Of course, the proof of
the pudding is if something is done about it...

Depends on your vision, Mr. Hothead.  I just finished reading Nat Hentoff's
_Free Speech for Me -- But Not for Thee_, his new book.  Hentoff certainly
doesn't believe there are "certain restrictions on speech" at least not so
far as I can tell.\

And you don't see makala holding back either, whereas his predators would
seem to be saying, if only we had your chain to yank over here, pal,
you wouldn't be allowed to post your rubbish.

Rubbish or not, politically correct or not, it should be expressed in
America, regardless.  If you see that fine ideal being ground into
"bullshit," well then do something about it.

I am re-posting this to alt.comp.acad-freedom.talk for starters.

The government has indeed given the matter "urgent attention". See below.

Roelf Meyer has denied that he knew anything about this, claiming he was
overseas at the time. Current Minister Gene Louw has stated that he
doesn't agree with major aspects of what the Judge said (funny, I thought
he was just publicizing evidence, not makeing a judgment).

The only positive thing I can say about all this is that the concept
of accountability is getting unprecedented publicity while being ignored
on an unprecedented scale. Watergate? Hah! A mere frolic by comparison.

Thank you, Ivan, this was my feeling exactly. Perhaps if some people 
on this group would consider a few things before they posted, we could have 
some constructive debate rather than the childish wrangling we seem 
consistently to get tangled up in. 

Examples:

1) Is my post going to add anything to the debate?
2) Am I attacking the right person?
3) Should I be attacking anyone at all?
4) Am I sticking to the topic?
5) Is anyone likely to want to hear what I have to say or am I posting to 
   show myself how clever I am?
6) Am I showing any respect for the other person's culture and feelings?

Etc.

Restraint, people, restraint. It would do wonders, keep our blood pressure 
down and allow us to learn something from each other.

Dennis Brutus is a former political prisoner with Nelson Mandela
on Robben Island. He is also known as one of Africa's top poets
and the leader of the movement to ban South Africa from Olympic
sports.

Deported from South Africa, Brutus was nearly deported from the
United States in the 1980s. MIM's predecessors took up work at that
time to stop the deportation. Since that time Brutus has been
a professor at various institutions in the United States.

Last summer, Brutus was finally enabled to return to South Africa, where
he met with Mandela and other Black leaders. He also is just back from
addressing the UN on the status of the former sports ban on South Africa.

Cosponsoring these talks are the Education for Action, the Maoist
