Los niños sabios could very well be defined by the dynamic of this scene. Salinger’s books, Los niños sabios reveals the childishness that remains in every grown-up — both for good and bad — and the adult-like understanding of things that is so typical of childhood. At the command of their leader, they take on positions to charge against it, all the while narrating the action-packed story aloud. Wednesday, July 13, 2016 Surviving on the edge of childhood and maturityBy Veronica StewartFor the HeraldThe scene is epic: six brave warriors unite to fight against a mythological creature as dangerous as can be — KingKongRada, a hybrid between King Kong and the Uruguayan singer Rubén Rada.

“If you’re a public official you have to deal with public criticism but she is not a public official,” he said. after allegations by lawmaker Wednesday, July 13, 2016 Stolbizer, CFK to face off in perjury hearingFollowing heated exchanges between herself and former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, Progressives national lawmaker Margarita Stolbizer confirmed that both politicians would face a “mediation hearing” in August to resolve the dispute.

Wednesday, July 13, 2016 Why Bernie waited so longBy Amber PhillipsThe Washington PostFour days after Barack Obama effectively clinched the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, Hillary Clinton endorsed him. The Sanders camp got “at least 80 percent” of what they wanted, Sanders’ policy director Warren Gunnells told reporters. Sanders, some argue, dragged out Democrats’ family problems by waiting so long, especially after other party notables such as Barack Obama and Elizabeth Warren endorsed Clinton weeks ago. Four weeks after Clinton effectively clinched her party’s 2016 nomination, Bernie Sanders still hadn’t endorsed her. The wait has even left some progressive leaders scratching their heads about what took so long.

Wednesday, July 13, 2016 Too much past on paradeFirst instincts are often the best and President Mauricio Macri would have done better sticking to his original plan of skipping Sunday’s military parade celebrating the Bicentennial of Argentine independence in order to rest off his exhausting overseas tour earlier this month. The inclusion of people who could be convicted of crimes against humanity seems to carry the principle of innocent until proven guilty too far — the celebration of two centuries of independence should be inseparable from the defence of the democracy during most of the second century. As Oscar Wilde said: “Once might be an accident but twice looks like carelessness” — the undue protagnonism given to a disgraced ex-ruler like Juan Carlos could always be attributed to misplaced courtesy or simple ignorance, but the sinister symbolism lurking amid the military fanfare is far more disturbing. It might be argued that the extreme nationalism represented by the likes of Rico is not wholly incompatible with the patriotism underlying any Independence Day celebrations, but this year does not only mark 200 years of independent existence — it is also the centenary of the first genuinely free and democratic elections in Argentina when Rico did his best (or worst) to derail a then infant revival of democracy back in 1987. If yesterday’s editorial described as a “provocation” Macri’s remarks to Spanish ex-monarch Juan Carlos about “anguish” over the separation from Spain, what term would be fitting for such outrages as the inclusion of former carapintada Army mutineer Aldo Rico or military veterans from the Operativo Independencia anti-guerrilla campaign as from 1975 (the first full rehearsal for state terrorism) — what could possibly be more provocative than the sight of a green Ford Falcon (the iconic vehicle used to whisk away the missing in the junta years) in the military parade in the Buenos Aires provincial city of Junín?

Wednesday, July 13, 2016 IMF: Brexit will have ‘negligible’ impact on USThe United States flag flies above the Wall Street entrance to the New York Stock Exchange. “The net effect on growth is pretty negligible,” Nigel Chalk, the IMF’s mission chief for the United States, told reporters on a conference call. All in all, global equities are back to where they were when the UK voted for Brexit. The IMF kept unchanged its previous US economic growth forecasts of 2.2 percent for 2016 and 2.5 percent in 2017, issued a day before the British referendum.

Wednesday, July 13, 2016 De Vido edges toward trialJulio De Vido is one step closer to facing trial over the Once crash. “There is sufficient evidence to effectively confirm that De Vido was aware of the serious deficiencies in the Railway Transport Service that was exploited and licensed by (private company) TBA,” the judges said.

Although the Education Ministry has declared its interest in “educational quality,” they have taken many unfortunate steps in their first seven months. And which was recognized by the United Nations as one of the most important inclusive plans on the planet. The latter offered the Argentine president “free software for students,” as reported by different media around the world.

The Curuguaty massacre occurred on 15th June, 2012, when around 300 riot police moved in to evict dozens of peasant farmers after a court had accepted Campos Morombí claims of trespassing.
