Congratulations and best wishes to Dr. Eire on the launch of the Spanish translation.
I don't suppose he ever heard from the ombudsman of the Washington Post regarding the infamous Oliphant cartoon, though perhaps he may have gotten a meaningless form letter. I also suppose he didn't hear from Oliphant himself after writing him and sending him a copy of his book. It figures.
I'm presently reading the book again, this time in Spanish. It's just as enjoyable and beautifully translated. Patria y vida, volveremos.
