[Tango-L] Article on Argentina

[Barbara Garvey]

Except for references to more recent governments, this article could 
have been written in the 1980s. When we were there in 2006
the potholes and sidewalks had noticeably improved compared to the '90s. 
So, they've deteriorated.again? And the villas miserias
were much in evidence in the '80s and '90s. I think they were hidden 
from view on the highway from the airport sometime in the '90s
but doubt they ever disappeared. We have a  close friend (non-tango) who 
is a teacher and specialist in agricultural economy who
has had a very difficult time financially during most of time we've 
known him (since 1990)

The article is deja vu all over again. Any comments from Tango-Listers 
living for many years in
the Capital?
