http://www.letsgo.com/destinations/latin_america/puerto/

Extractions: Email This Page Puerto Rico is simultaneously the poorest territory in the US and the richest part of Latin America, and these conflicting identities ooze through every aspect of island life. Visitors looking for the 51st US state will be disappointed; the language is Spanish, parts of the island look more like developing South America than the Caribbean, and the culture is decidedly Latin. However, others who believe that theyre traveling to Latin America will be discouraged by the overwhelming presence of Wal-Mart and US flags. Only those who embrace Puerto Rico for what it isa beautiful Caribbean island with some financial security and a spirited culturewill not fail to be impressed.

Extractions: Site Map "We at The Fajardo Inn are certain that you will never find a better hotel value in Eastern Puerto Rico, if not all of Puerto Rico. But don't take our word for it, first take a look at web sites from other hotels around Puerto Rico." About Puerto Rico The true history of Puerto Rico is reflected in our literature, art, music, architecture and in our spirit. You can see it everywhere, from our oldest cities to our newest urban developments. Puerto Rico is many, many things. We hope you will enjoy discovering a few of them. Its terrain is among the most varied in the region; rugged mountains rise in the middle, quiet beaches edge the northern and eastern shores (which are lapped by the Atlantic Ocean) while in parts of the southwest, beaches give way to steep cliffs that plummet into the Caribbean Sea. What is Puerto Rico? It is an island teeming with beauty and vitality. Some of it is Spanish, some Indian, some African and some...something else. but somehow it all blends together into a culture that you will find fascinating and one-of-a-kind. There is no place quite like a tropical volcanic Island and no island in the Caribbean quite like Puerto Rico. The geography of the island is very unusual, as it encompasses distinctly different kinds of topography and microclimates in a relatively small area.

http://www.newsguild.org/puertoricochallenge.php

Extractions: Citing "cultural insensitivity" and failure to live up to required local broadcast standards, an alliance of Puerto Rican media unions and community groups is urging the Federal Communications Commission to deny license renewal to the island's largest television station, WLII in San Juan, which is operated by U.S. media conglomerate Univision. The Alliance of Puerto Rican Artists and Support Groups, whose acronym in Spanish is APAGA, charged that Univision has all but dropped local production of telenovelas and game shows in favor of canned programming from Mexico and Venezuela, the source of most of Univision's production. Puerto Rican programming has dropped from about 50 programs a week down to only three since Univision took over in 2002 under a local marketing agreement with station owner Raycom Media.

Extractions: The New York Times "Puerto Rico, U.S.A." By Rosario Ferre (03/19/98, c. 1998 New York Times Company) SAN JUAN, P.R. The Senate may soon be debating a bill that would permit Puerto Ricans living on the island to vote for statehood or independence or to become an enhanced commonwealth that would eventually evolve toward sovereignty. Feeling on the island is divided almost equally between statehood and commonwealth, with independence favored by less than 4 percent of the voters. But if Puerto Ricans living on the mainland are allowed to participate in the proposed referendum, as some have recommended, they could sway the vote, because many of them favor independence. This could mean that the next generation of Puerto Ricans would be deprived of the right to American citizenship. As a Puerto Rican writer, I constantly face the problem of identity. When I travel to the States I feel as Latina as Chita Rivera. But in Latin America, I feel more American than John Wayne. To be Puerto Rican is to be a hybrid. Our two halves are inseparable; we cannot give up either without feeling maimed. For many years, my concern was to keep my Hispanic self from being stifled. Now I discover it's my American self that's being threatened. I recently was on a book tour in the United States. Wherever I went, people who knew about the plebiscite asked, "Why do you want to be American?" The question was unsettling. Puerto Ricans have been Americans for almost a hundred years. At least 6,000 Puerto Ricans have died fighting for the United States, and many thousands more served in Korea and Vietnam. My son led a platoon of Puerto Rican soldiers in the Persian Gulf war. At the time, no one asked if he wanted to be an American. He simply did his duty.

Although uncertain late yesterday, festival spokeswoman Enid De Leon said there may be a fireworks display tonight at 10. More likely, the fireworks will take place Sunday at 8 p.m., De Leon said.
