What I do not accept is the fact that so many people's talents were ripped off.

So that when I came from Panama... my family was exiled in 1973 and they went to Miami.

People are a lot smarter than anyone gives them credit for being.

I was the first person to come into New York with a Latin American point of view which was also very much influenced by political happenings in Latin America.

It doesn't make sense for me to be a lawyer in a place where there is no law.

I was born in Panama, the Republic of Panama, on July 16, 1948 in Panama City, in an area called San Felipe.

I think we risk becoming the best informed society that has ever died of ignorance.
