obsesiones permancece la tortura cotidiana de una mediocridad general:
desde la dirigencia, el fallido trabajo del entrenador-filo'sofo, el
calamitoso arbritraje, hasta una plantilla de jugadores en quienes se gasta
demasiada tinta y se trasmiten demasiadas oras de radio-tv, para lo que
realmente saben bordar en la cancha. Finalmente, sin pena ni gloria 
avanzaron en Centroame'rica.
!Ah! y ese Menotti que no resulto' tan macho como el tango... Pero se
despidio' con una frase mas:"EL '93 se podri'a definir como el anio de

En cambio, sin tanto alarde, 24 mexicanos figuran en las listas del
Consejo Mundial de Boxeo, entre los 187 mejores peleadores del globo. CInco
de ellos son campeones mundiales: Miguel Angel Gonzales (ligero), J.C.
Cha'vez (superligero), Victor Manuel Rabanales (gallo), Humberto "chiquita" 
Gonzalez (minimosca) y Ricardo Lopez (paja).
Es decir, Mexico es el pai's con mayor cantidad de monarcas mundiales,
seguido por Estados Unidos y el Reino Unido (tres cada uno).
Y desde luego, para nada son objeto de esa desmesurada atencio'n
publicitaria. Sera' que no salpican, econo'micamente...

Organization: Doctoral student, Engineering and Public Policy, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA


  

  "It's all the same," asserts Karen Vagley, counsel to the House Education
and Labor Committee. "We see the same type of violations, the same type
of lax regulation by the Department of Labor -- whether it's crab picking
or apple picking." The Labor Department says it does the best it can
given its limited resources.  

  The 1986 Immigration and Control Act split foreign workers into two
groups: farm workers, and all other temporary hires. The farm workers,
called H2As, get free housing and transportation, and contracts promising
them 75% of the work they sign up for. The others, the far less numerous
H2B workers, aren't guaranteed any of this. Moreover, federally funded
Legal Aid offices can help farm workers, but not nonfarm migrant workers.
 

  "Protections for H2A workers are very inadequate. That is magnified
for H2Bs," says Mary Lee Hall, an attorney who often represents farm
workers.  

  H2B workers aren't protected because Congress didn't envision a need.
Until a few years ago, these were mainly people with advanced skills,
such as baseball players and musicians. Their employers have to show
that they advertised the jobs and no qualified U.S. candidates applied.
 

  Although the number of H2B workers has remained steady at only about
8,000 a year, there has been a pronounced shift toward jobs involving
"pretty low wages and terrible working conditions," says Flora Richardson,
chief of the Labor Department's division of foreign labor certification.
"This has just become a problem in the last couple of years." No one
is sure just how widespread abuses are under the nonfarm migrant worker
program, because no one monitors it and worker access to lawyers is limited.

Feliz Navidad a todos, especialmente a los que estan lejos de sus familias 

y de ese Mexico tan precioso.

                     Sinceramente,

                  Alma Iridia Barranco
