A date that will live in infamy

December 7, 2018

Our entry into world war two came after a Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on this day (December 7) 1941.

A lot has changed since then.

A local newspaper

December 4, 2018

I stopped by a restaurant for breakfast the other day and observed three different people reading newspapers.

As it turned out they were reading El Diario.

One of the clues was the number of pages in the newspaper.

Another was the length of the articles.

Many of us would subscribe to an English language version of El Diario.

We deserve better
