Argentina is on the other side of the world to me and it has been easy just to shut my mind and pretend it's not happening. Your post brought home to me that it is not as far away as I sometimes think. Indeed, a good friend of mine married and is living there. I hope she is OK. Sadly, from what I can make out, democratic, civilian government rarely survives long in a country when inflation has reached a certain level. I hope fervently that I prove to be thoroughly wrong this time. Good luck - I'll be thinking of you. Alan.
