Aproveita o embalo, Sarney!

BUENOS AIRES, 31 Mar 2009 - El ex presidente de Argentina Raúl Alfonsín (1983-89), en cuyo gobierno se juzgaron a los comandantes de la última dictadura, murió este martes de cáncer a los 82 años, anunció su mîdico personal, Alberto Sadler.‘Lamentablemente, el doctor Raúl Alfonsín ha fallecido ”a las 20h30 hora local (23h30 GMT), confirmó Sadler a los numerosos periodistas congregados desde temprano frente a la casa del ex mandatario.El primer jefe de Estado elegido por las urnas tras la última dictadura (1976-83) sufría un cáncer de pulmón con metástasis ósea y el pasado final de semana había tenido un cuadro de neumonía broncoaspirativa que debilitó aún más su delicado estado de salud.Pese a su prolongada enfermedad y a no tener un cargo oficial, Alfonsín seguía siendo la figura más influyente del centenario partido opositor Unión Cívica Radical (UCR, socialdemócrata).

"The common people, when working, keep the upper part of their bodies quite naked; and it is then that the Tahitians are seen to advantage. They are very tall, broad- shouldered, athletic, and well-proportioned. It has been remarked, that it requires little habit to make a dark skin more pleasing and natural to the eye of an European than his own colour. A white man bathing by the side of a Tahitian, was like a plant bleached by the gardener's art compared with a fine dark green one growing vigorously in the open fields. Most of the men are tattooed, and the ornaments follow the curvature of the body so gracefully, that they have a very elegant effect. One common pattern, varying in its details, is somewhat like the crown of a palm-tree. It springs from the central line of the back, and gracefully curls round both sides. The simile may be a fanciful one, but I thought the body of a man thus ornamented was like the trunk of a, noble tree embraced by a delicate creeper."
