SPECIAL REPORTS:
The Plan Puebla-Panama
Revived:
Looking Back To See What’s Ahead
During a tour of three Central American countries last March 24-26,
Mexican President Vicente Fox formally re-launched the Plan Puebla-Panama
(PPP).
Originally launched in Mexico with great fanfare in March 2001, the Plan
had since languished for a year and a half—dying according to some, dead
according to others. The announcement of the ambitious plan for the
economic integration of the region immediately sparked controversy but
remained pegged to the drawing board as the government stalled on
implementation and government offices maintained silence regarding its
true intent and probable future.

"How do we assess a man's life?" A few
years ago, Newsweek magazine asked the question in a article entitled, "Building

is self-evident. It's tough being a kid today. These young people need the best
dads we men can be just to survive the jungle the world has become for them.

DON'T ASK:
ECOTOURISM: FACT OR FICTION?
What is ecotourism?
The interesting thing about ecotourism is that very few people know how to
answer that question. The large part of the problem is that ecotourism means
different things to different people. To some, Pirates of the Caribbean might
suit well for an ecotourist adventure. To others, eating tree bark while
photographing squirrels is a much better alternative.
