Si una cosa es clara en el mundo de hoy, es que los “libros” nos han fallado. Las personas que han buscado en los libros una guía para su vida, han encontrado motivos para separación antes que unión.

Ebola: Acting Early, Decisively, and Long Enough
Is there a similarity between defending a country against a crazy ideology and defending a country against a lethal virus? In this article, I will consider that question and will conclude that, in fact, there are similarities between the two struggles.
