Miami lidera la eficencia enérgetica!

Hoy asistí a una conferencia en el Miami Dade Community College. El futuro tecnologico es increible. En el futuro podremos apagar las luces y todos los electrodomesticos desde el aeropuerto, o el trabajo, como a menudo olvidamos hacerlo antes de salir de casa. Es maravilloso vivir para verlo. Mucha gente hubiese querido presenciar lo que vemos y veremos en esta época.

Éxito rotundo el libro que Chávez le regala a Obama

La primera vez que escuché hablar de "Las venas abiertas de América Latina" fue de boca de una chica boliviana que trabajaba conmigo en la biblioteca. Ella es, aunque hace mucho que no sé de ella diré es porque quiero pensar que está viva, hija de padre español y madre indígena. Digo esto porque para ella y su familia esto era un hecho importantísimo y me atrevería a decir que hasta divisorio. Fue ella quien me abrió los ojos sobre la división que desconocía existiese entre los blancos e indios de su país natal, Bolivia. Ella había estudiado periodismo y antropología. En una época de su vida se había reclutado en la selva, vivido con los indígenas, probado sus hierbas alucinógenas, aprendido aymara y quechua y muchas cosas más que nunca olvidó, ni olvidaría. Me comentó que cuando vivía en Bolivia odiaba a los Estados Unidos. Dijo que eso era lo que había aprendido y lo que creían los jóvenes en su universidad. Después de haber vivido aquí veía a los estadounidenses de forma diferente. Con el tiempo, conocí a otros jóvenes latinoamericanos y aprendí que muchos habían crecido leyendo y pensando como ella.

La falta de enfoque en Latinoamérica continúa. Latinoamérica de forma recurrente culpa a su vecino exitoso del norte de sus fracasos, como si ello fuese tan viable como que un ser humano abandonase su vida para ocuparse de la educación y el desarrollo de otro. Cada individuo es responsable de sus actos, como mismo cada país debe asumir la responsabilidad de sus éxitos, o fracasos. Brasil está prosperando. Ello no se debe a Estados Unidos. ¿Si no les fuera bien fuese justo culpar a Estados Unidos por ello? Es una falta de enfoque total, Chávez como otros mandatarios latinoamericanos mira hacia el pasado, en vez de preocuparse por la gente que tiene hambre hoy y los que no tendrán arepa mañana. En vez de hablar sobre lo que está haciendo y hará, Chávez le regaló a Obama en la Quinta Cumbre de las Américas este libro:


Encuentro muy positivo que tantas personas hayan salido a comprar y leer el libro, porque los tiempos difíciles, o interesantes, como los llamarían los chinos, que nos han tocado vivir nos han obligado a superarnos, a cultivarnos, a leer y aprender sobre Afganistán, Irán, Iraq y el resto del mundo, en el que a fin de cuentas también habitamos. Mi amiga me lo recomendó. Por falta de tiempo nunca lo leí. Ahora voy a hacerlo y más adelante incluiré aquí mi review del texto.

Antes de que Chávez se lo regalase a Obama el libro estaba en la posición 54.295 de las listas de Amazon.com, vendedor que ya informó a sus clientes que la edición en inglés está agotada.

Chávez dijo que le dio a Obama el libro el sábado como retribución al gesto del estadounidense de haberse acercado a saludarlo el viernes, ocasión en la que le dijo: "Quiero ser tu amigo". Al día siguiente esta fue la dedicatoria que añadió en el libro: "Para Obama, con afecto".


Me pregunto si Chávez actuó por impulso, o se dio cuenta que su principal socio es Estados Unidos y necesita venderle su petróleo. Diera cualquier cosa por saber qué se habló sobre Cuba tras bastidores, como tanto lo desee durante la visita de Lula da Silva a la Casa Blanca a principios de abril. Visita que dudo mucho se haya centrado tanto en la energía y los nuevos combustibles. En el caso de Chávez, unas horas después, anunció que restablecía sus relaciones con Washington a nivel de embajadores, interrumpidas desde hacía siete meses.

Si hay algo de lo que los observadores podemos estar seguros es de que todos, incluyendo la prensa, estamos en la oscuridad. Muchos de los temas que se tocaron en esa cumbre, al igual que en la charla de Lula y Obama, no salieron ni saldrán a la luz.

Changes coming to Cuba....

One of my favorite articles from the press about what happened today at the Summit of the Americas... Dios mio, changes are coming to Cuba sooner than I thought and expected:

By MARK S. SMITH, Associated Press Writer Mark S. Smith, Associated Press Writer

PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad – President Barack Obama offered a spirit of cooperation to America's hemispheric neighbors at a summit Saturday, listening to their complaints about past U.S. interference in the region and even reaching out to Venezuela's fiery leftist leader.

While he worked to ease friction between the U.S. and leaders at the Summit of the Americas, Obama cautioned them to resist a temptation to blame all their problems on their behemoth neighbor to the North.

"I have a lot to learn and I very much look forward to listening and figuring out how we can work together more effectively," Obama said.

Obama said he was ready to accept Cuban President Raul Castro's proposal of talks on issues once off-limits for Cuba, including the scores of political prisoners held by the communist government. While praising America's initial effort to thaw relations with Havana, the leaders pushed the U.S. to go further and lift the 47-year-old U.S. trade embargo against the communist nation.

To Latin American nations reeling from a sudden plunge in exports, Obama promised a new hemispheric growth fund, an initiative to increase Caribbean security and a new regional partnership to develop alternative energy sources and fight global warming.

As the first full day of meetings began on the two-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago, Obama exchanged handshakes and pats on the back with Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, who once likened President George W. Bush to the devil. In front of photographers, Chavez gave Obama a copy of "The Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent," a book by Eduardo Galeano, which chronicles U.S. and European economic and political interference in the region.

When a reporter asked Obama what he thought of the book, the president replied: "I thought it was one of Chavez' books. I was going to give him one of mine." White House advisers said they didn't know if Obama would read it or not.

Later, during a group photo, Obama reached behind several leaders at the summit to shake Chavez' hand for the third time. Obama summoned a translator and the two smiled and spoke briefly.

Those two exchanges followed a brief grip and grin for cameras on Friday night when Obama greeted Chavez in Spanish.

"I think it was a good moment," Chavez said about their initial encounter. "I think President Obama is an intelligent man, compared to the previous U.S. president."

The White House said Chavez was civil in his criticism of the U.S. during a summit meeting, but that there was no discussion of reinstating ambassadors who were kicked out of each other's countries last year. "Relationships depend on more than smiles and handshakes," Obama economic adviser Larry Summers told reporters later.

Bolivia President Evo Morales, a close ally of Chavez, said Obama's pledge of a new era of mutual respect toward Latin America rings hollow.

"Obama said three things: There are neither senior or junior partners. He said relations should be of mutual respect, and he spoke of change," Morales said. "In Bolivia ... one doesn't feel any change. The policy of conspiracy continues."

Morales expelled U.S. ambassador Philip Goldberg in September and kicked out the Drug Enforcement Administration the next month for allegedly conspiring with the political opposition to incite violence. Chavez expelled the U.S. ambassador in Venezuela in solidarity. The Bush administration subsequently suspended trade preferences to Bolivia that local business leaders say could cost 20,000 jobs.

In an opening speech to the 34-nation gathering on Friday, the president promised a new agenda for the Americas, as well as a new style.

"We have at times been disengaged, and at times we sought to dictate our terms," Obama said to loud applause. "But I pledge to you that we seek an equal partnership. There is no senior partner and junior partner in our relations."

He also extended a hand to a leader Ronald Reagan spent years trying to drive from power: Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega. The Sandinista president stepped up and introduced himself, U.S. officials reported. Yet soon after, Ortega, who was ousted in 1990 elections that ended Nicaragua's civil war but who was returned to power by voters in 2006, delivered a blistering 50-minute speech that denounced capitalism and U.S. imperialism as the root of much hemispheric mischief. The address even recalled the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba, though Ortega said the new U.S. president could not be held to account for that.

"I'm grateful that President Ortega did not blame me for things that happened when I was three months old," Obama said, to laughter and applause from the other leaders.

But perhaps the biggest applause line was his call for a fresh start in relations between Washington and Havana.

Earlier this week, Obama ordered an easing of travel and remittance restrictions for Americans with relatives in Cuba. Within hours, Castro — who took over from his ailing brother Fidel a year ago — responded with an offer of talks on "everything" that divides the two countries.

Investigando Strip Clubs en Miami 2

Esta fue nuestra segunda vez en un strip club. Unas dos semanas atras fuimos a Goldrush; hoy a Tootsies. El objetivo del camarografo y la reportera, yo, era el de investigar el impacto que la crisis economica ha tenido y esta teniendo en la industria del entretenimiento para adultos. Me quede estupefacta cuando entre al lugar y vi a las chicas sin nada de ropa. Me habian dicho que llevaban puesto algo abajo, nunca las imagine totalmente desnudas. Ningun hombre me volveria a mentir diciendome que no pasa nada en los strip clubs y que las mujeres no estan totalmente desnudas. Me dije que por eso habia que ver las cosas por uno mismo y no creer en lo que cuentan. Creo que esa es una de las razones por las que soy periodista, porque puedo ir al lugar de los hechos y ver las cosas con mis propios ojos, sin que pasen antes por un filtro. Ademas, tambien soy reportera porque me ha llevado a lugares, como los strip clubs, a los que en mi vida corriente nunca habia ido, ni iria. El periodismo para mi ha sido un estilo de vida, una forma de redescubrir la humanidad, sus mezquindades y bondades, vicios y amores. Tambien soy periodista porque me gustan las historias. Siempre digo que todo el que tenga una buena historia que me la cuente. Me encanta oir historias y en un strip club hay muchas.
Pero de vuelta al strip club, en Goldrush no vi las muchachas bailando desnudas porque fuimos demasiado temprano, pero en Tootsies me sorprendio ver las chicas vendiendosele a los tipos. Al salir me quede observando los hombres que entraban al lugar, los habia de todas las edades, colores y niveles sociales, con corbatas, en bermudas y chancletas, hablando ingles, espanol y algunos eran hasta de la India, yo que siempre habia creido los indios eran mas austeros que hombres de otras nacionalidades. Ese al menos era el caso de los indios que yo habia conocido. Evidentemente hay de todo. En el parqueo habian Mercedes Benz, Toyotas, BMWs, Buicks, en fin, una variedad de carros en representacion de la diversidad de sus duenos.
Una vez dentro entreviste al gerente general de Tootsies. Su nombre es Pedro Perez, lo cual me parecio novelesco porque si fuese a escribir una novela no lo consideraria un nombre apropiado para el manager de un strip club. Mas la vida es asi, mas novelesca que las novelas mismas y el periodismo que aspira a contar los hechos, acaba sonando a veces tan novelesco, e inverosimil como la realidad. Pedro resulto ademas ser gordito, de piel oscura y ojos negros y nobles. Esto ultimo tampoco me lo esperaba. En otras palabras, no era asi como yo imaginaba debia lucir y actuar el manager de un strip club, pero bien, el manager de Goldrush tampoco encajaba con su cargo. Aquel era bajito, rellenio tambien, rubio, de ojos azules y oriundo del archi americano estado de Maine. Nadie que los viese en la calle se imaginaria que su trabajo era lidiar con mujeres desnudas todo el dia. Pedro me conto orgulloso que el habia empezado trabajando alli desde abajo. Primero fue portero, hizo toda clase de empleos, -desde abajo empece, desde abajo- me repitio, hasta que desde hacia dos anos lo habian hecho manager. Me dijo que le gustaba su trabajo porque se llevaba bien que los mujeres; aunque eran ellas y no los clientes, como le pregunte yo, las que mas dolores de cabeza le daban.
Mi serie con las entrevistas completas comenzara a salir el 27 de abril a las 5:55, 7:55 y 9:55 de la noche. Este fue un pequeno resumen de como fue grabar las entrevistas y un poquitin de cual fue mi experiencia grabandola antes de que se editara y saliese al aire. La foto inferior me la tomo mi camarografo afuera de Tootsies, el segundo strip club al que fuimos. Justo despues de esta foto nos pidieron que dejasemos de grabar porque los clientes estaban llendose temerosos de quedar captados en camara.

El dia en que Obama cambió la política hacia Cuba

Una noche en Albania

Los periodistas debemos hablar con gente de todas partes del mundo para aprender historia, cultura, e idiosincracias distintas. Esa es la mejor forma de ampliar nuestra cosmovision; a fin de cuentas, nuestro trabajo como periodistas es buscar, a veces redescubrir cosas conocidas, para recontarlas en historias. Anoche cene con amigos y la primera persona de Albania que he conocido en mi vida. De Albania no conocia ni el nombre de Tirana, su capital, y aprendi que tienen más en común con los cubanos que muchos latinoamericanos que comparten con nosotros la herencia cultural espanola y el idioma. De boca de un joven albanes aprendi que Albania es uno de los paises mas pobres de Europa, que los albaneses de Kosovo como el eran educados y decentes, pero que los nativos no eran asi, que el pais nativo era tan pobre y se encontraba tan aislado e incomunicado del mundo en el ano 92, cuando cayo el comunismo, que la gente entro en guerras civiles y el desorden reino en todo el pais. Deleitandome con comida y musica albanesas puedo decir que pase una noche en Albania.

La amnesia histórica le pudiera costar su futuro a Perú?

Los pueblos latinoamericanos olvidan con facilidad. Yo diría que tienden a padecer una amnesia precoz que muchas veces les ha costado caro y éste pudiera ser ahora el caso de Perú. Ello se demostró cuando en Nicaragua Daniel Ortega fue reelecto; después y a pesar de haber obligado a muchos nicaraguenses en los 80s y 90s ha exiliarse en Miami, huyéndole a los sandinistas que asumieron el poder. Yo he conocido a nicaraguenses en esas circunstancias. He hablado con ellos. He visto en sus ojos la tristeza y el recuerdo del terror que sintieron cuando los sandinistas los perseguían y entraban a las universidades buscando a familiares de oficiales del gobierno de Somoza. Los nicaraguenses olvidaron eso y en ==== votaron porque Daniel Ortega fuese presidente.
Perú parece ahora estar pasando por la amnesia que padeció Nicaragua. Ayer martes un tribunal de la Corte Suprema condenó a 25 años de cárcel al ex presidente Alberto Fujimori. Hoy, en mi reportaje sobre las reacciones de peruanos en el exilio, entrevisté a cinco exiliados. El primero que entrevisté, el dueño del popular restaurante peruano El Pollo Inka, me dijo que el juicio era injusto, porque Perú le debía todas las inversiones extranjeras de las que hoy gozaba el país, la paz y tranquilidad a Fujimori. El no estaba libre de culpas, pero según él, había matado a terroristas. Con la ayuda de su mano derecha, por supuesto. Otra muchacha que también me habló en cámara y por cuestión de tiempo, cuya respuesta no pude incluir en su totalidad en mi reportaje, me contó sobre las bombas que explotaban en las calles y los recuerdos que tenía de sí misma escondiéndose al lado de carros cuando escuchaba las explosiones y veía fuego. "Perú era un país peligroso. Sendero Luminoso fue la organización más sangrienta que ha existido. El gobierno estaba combatiendo a un enemigo a ciegas, un enemigo que a diferencia de la guerrilla de Colombia, no se vestía de verde, no se podía identificar. Estaban infiltrados en la policía, el ejército, las universidades, en todos los ámbitos del gobierno y la sociedad, se vestían como gente común y corriente, como cíviles. Un señor me comentó que el mejor estudiante de su clase de arquitectura se había detonado. El chico resultó ser terrorista, pertenecía a Sendero Luminoso, según él, nadie lo imaginaba. "No se sabía quiénes eran los malos" me contaron los peruanos. "Perú estaba peor que México y Colombia... No se podía entrar a una universidad. Las universidades eran cuarteles de terroristas. Fujimori trajo la paz. Eliminó el terrorismo."
Los peruanos conocen mejor yo su país, sólo quería decir que la democracia, de la que Perú goza hoy, debe ser preciada y protegida. Las recientes declaraciones que ha hecho la hija de Fujimori en referencia a la reactivación de Sendero Luminoso en ciertas áreas del país, merecen ser tomadas en cuenta. La democracia hay que cuidarla. Nunca está segura. Y la amnesia histórica hay que combatirla. Debemos estudiar las revoluciones, los movimientos que condujeron a cambios positivos y negativos, para no repetir los errores, para que no les cueste el futuro.

My story and questions to Andy Garcia

April 3, 2009 The day I met Andy García

After Andy García spoke to all the youngsters from Raíces de Esperanza who came together at the University of Miami on April 3rd, they openned the session for questioning and I was the second to last to speak to him. I obviously didn't take notes like I did with his speech, but my cameraman recorded what I told him, as a member of Raices de Esperanza, not as a reporter, and I've been able to listen to it again:

"I come from Florida International University. I was born in Cuba. I came when I was 12 years old. I'm not one of the lucky ones. I could have been Cuban American, but my my mother's father did everything to flee the island and couldn't. And my father was the only one of six sibblings to stay behind with his parents. He decided to stay, just so he wouldn't leave his parents behind. My parents almost came to this country. I could have been borned here. But I wasn't. I'm not Cuban American; I'm just Cuban. And I wanted to tell you, I was watching The Lost City with a friend and he started crying uncontrollably. And this is a guy. Guys usually don't cry. I was amazed. After we finished watching your movie, The Lost City, I found out that his grandfather, like the old man in the movie, has had a big farm in Pinar del Rio. He had a supermarket, where he would sell his crops, a tabaqueria, from which later on he would sell tabacos and all of that, the only things he really knew and loved had been taken away from him by the Revolution. His grandfather locked himself in a room and committed suicide. I know is sad. I wondered if I should say it or not, but this is a true story. The old man from the movie reminded him of the grandfather he never had the chance of meeting. I wonder how does that make you feel? How does it feel to know that your movie went beyond your hands because its viewer can interpret it in their own manner?

I was surprised to notice that the whole audience applaud, after I finished saying that.

Andy talked about all the years he'd worked to make The Lost City and how difficult other people had made it for him to do it! He said, let me tell you a story, that movie was supposed to open the San Sebastian festival, but then it got cancelled and they ended up not showing it at all. They called him and told him they weren't interesented in the movie, anymore. His final answer, looking at me in the eye, was: "that movie was the best thing I've done in my life". I know he meant in his professional life, because Andy has done a lot of good, great things in his life. And for that we love him!

Just Andy García

April 3, 2009 The Day I met Andy García

And there I was, listening to Andy García speak smooth and slowly, like spring water coming down a stream, while I sat among the audience of young college kids and thought about my family and cousins back in Cuba, to whom I wanted so bad to tell about what I was experiencing. "This is unbelievable" I told myself. I remembered being 10 and watching him back in Cuba in the movie The Godfather III. I remembered how proudly my father had said he was Cuban and how unbelievable that had seemed. A Cuban famous in a Hollywood movie; that was like wow, wow, wow. Now, Andy was in the same room as I, standing behind a podium, speaking to a large audience of students from all parts of the U.S and I was one of them. That was one of those proofs that everything, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, is possible in life, always a startling realization. "I can't wait to share this with my parents and family in Cuba. This will give them hope," I thought. "The kind of hope that if they were to leave Cuba, they know they'll succeed and even if they don't, they'll hope that Cuba will have a good Human capital to rebuild itself."


Fotógrafa Arlena Amaro

Andy spoke of the importance of high moral standards, staying true to oneself and never, under no circumstances or reasons, jeopardizing one's integrity, which to others might have sounded like an unpopular topic to talk about with a young audience; yet, I found it appropriate and extremelly necessary in this time and age. At the end of his speech, he mentioned that his, if any, only advice to us was to stay true, true to who we were and where we came from. He also told us to remember that persistance substitutes genius or talent. This thought I'll keep in my mind and soul to gather strength and continue pursuing this complicated career of mine.

It was beautiful to listen to someone, who values his parents, his wife of 26 years and the four children they've had together like Andy, speaking about the importance and beauty of having and maintaining a family. I looked at all the young faces around me, none of them older than 26, and thought that Andy was giving us important lessons of life. The types of lessons schools didn't teach us, but life required.

I didn't know he had a brother and a sister, with whom his parents and him had left Cuba, relocating to Miami Beach in the 1970s. I didn't know his mother had realized they needed to flee the island and raise their children somewhere else, when she heard him in the house's portal humming a communist song. He said he had just been there, looking at the soldiers passing in front of his house on their way to the military cartel right across the street, which Andy admitted, looked very impressive to a 5year old boy.

Jose Marti picture

"Freedom is not negotionable. A human being has to be free" Andy Garcia said and added "Like Jose Marti said, you strive for freedrom even if you have to pay for it with your life". It surprised to see him speaking so passionately about Cuba and Jose Marti. He wasn't reading, or anything. He was speaking to the audience. Instead of a speech, it was a real and honest conversation. After saying that, as if reflecting on it, he said that the Castro brothers were not going to be there forever and that it was specially up to the youngsters, who had a whole life ahead of them to build a better future. And then, Andy said something that made us all laugh:
"I doubt about coming to these things. I've always wanted no political involvement. I care more for my art, to the detriment of my fellow drivers, than I do about politics" right there we all laughed. "I'm more of a dreamer than a political person. Sometimes people come up to me and tell me, hey soy cubano. Yo soy cubano, cubano como tu. And I tell them, hey buddy, you didn't have to tell me. I could tell, just by looking at you from far." We all laughed again and he added: "My parents like most of yours came to the U.S. and sacrifice everything for me and when I told that to producers and directors in Hollywood, I must tell you that mine wasn't a popular answer. And for that, I have created fans (and pointed to the audience) and enemies, who take it upon themselves to criticize me whenever they get a chance."



"My wife is Cuban. My children are Cubanamericans. And all my personal art has to do with the Cuban theme, to the dismay of my personal agent, who tells me, Andy what we now least need is another Cuban film. And I question; what's the difference between a historic drama like The Lost City and Schindler's List? Why personal historic dramas like Schindler's List strike more interest for the general public than the Cuban theme? Than The Lost City?"



Andy went on to explaining the distorted notion that intellectuals and movie directors in Hollywood have about the Cuban Revolution and how he has to explain all the time that: "it wasn't a peasants' revolution. It was an intellectual revolution, not an economic revolution. In 1959, Cuba's economy was the third in the Hemisphere" and how Cuba was a very dear subject to his heart and that's why his latest project is also about Cuba. It'll have to do with Hemingway's last years in the island he so much loved and adopted. He's writing the project himself with Hemingway's niece, to the dismay of his agent.



And then he said something that moved me, that brought tears to my eyes: "It attracts me 'cause I have a void in my heart. How do you fill that?" And he stayed quite. He looked down. He seemed to be genuinely moved. I interpreted his words as if by capturing Cuba in his movies he was rediscovering it and filling the void in his heart.



Then, he went on mentioning the Cuban protesters now on youtube. How they were all young and courageous and added: "I'm honored to be here today. I'm moved by the fact that Cuban generations are interested in nonnegotionable freedom and human rights".



We all clapped and I felt proud of Andy being Cuban. Proud of being Cuban myself. Proud of being young and a member of Raíces de Esperanza. Proud of belonging to this generation of Cubanamericans that we'll see actual changes in Cuba, unlike my grandfather's, who wanted to see them very badly and died without being able to.
As if reinforcement was needed, Andy added: "Like Marti said, I feel that if I wasnt Cuban I would need to be Cuban. People from all over the world have fallen in love with Cuba and adopted that country. There's something about that woman with that cigar (and he pointed to a photograph of a black woman on the wall) over, looking at you, that attracts you to it. There's something about Cuba. I remember I would carrry Cachao's music in little cassettes and take it to parties, parties I wasn't even invited to, play them and notice how people started moving to its rhythm. People who weren't Latin, or Cuban. People who didn't even know, or hadn't heard that music before, reacted to it. They started moving, dancing to its rhythm."

Investigando Strip Clubs en Miami

Abri 2, 2009

Como la situacion economica esta afectando los strip clubs de Miami? Son ciertas las ultimas estadisticas publicadas en los periodicos, La Razon y El Universal, que aseguran que va en aumento el numero de mujeres estadounidenses que a falta de trabajo optan por convertirse en strippers? Es cierto que muchas lo hacen para pagarse los estudios? Cuanto pueden ganar de strippers? Es en realidad tan facil ejercer el trabajo? Estas y otras preguntas me llevaron el pasado jueves 2 de abril por primera vez y razones de trabajo, a cruzar el umbral de un strip club, en este caso uno de los mas selectos y caros de la ciudad de Miami. Alli me sente a entrevistar a su gerente general, un joven de 30 anos con 10 anos de experiencia en el negocio y un resume que incluye strip clubs en Las Vegas. Los detalles sobre esta y otras entrevistas las incluire mas adelante aqui, en mi cuaderno cibernetico de reportera.
