It may have been up-to-date when it was published, but by no means could it be described as exhaustive. In this book review, Andrade countered the claim that Spanish was not widespread in Filipinas during the US colonial period.Ī REVIEW OF BROTHER ANDREW’S BOOK: “LANGUAGE AND NATIONALISM: THE PHILIPPINE EXPERIENCE THUS FAR”īrother Andrew González’s treatise “ Language and Nationalism” was praised in the foreword by Cecilio López as “the most exhaustive and up-to-date treatment of the language problem in the Philippines”.

I am reposting an undated book review written many years ago by the late chemist-historian Pío Andrade Jr. Women are still in the overall majority – 70 percent of health workers are women – but we have been incorporated as workers into an industry where the bosses are men. Ninety-three percent of the doctors in the US are men and almost all the top directors and administrators of health institutions. Today, however, health care is the property of male professionals. Medicine is part of our heritage as women, our history, our birthright. They were called “wise women” by the people, witches or charlatans by the authorities. For centuries women were doctors without degrees, barred from books and lectures, learning from each other, and passing on experience from neighbor to neighbor and mother to daughter. They were midwives, travelling from home to home and village to village. They were pharmacists, cultivating healing herbs and exchanging the secrets of their uses. They were abortionists, nurses and counsellors. They were the unlicensed doctors and anatomists of western history. In 1683-84 an entire street of stalls was set up on the frozen river, together with a press printing souvenir papers, one of which, entitled “A Winter Wonder of the Thames Frozen Over with Remarks on the Resort thereon” asked “ … ho’d believe to see revived there in January, Bartholomew Fair?”. On this day in 1434 a severe frost set in in London that was to last until the February of the following year, and the Thames froze over.įurther records indicate that in all the river froze over nearly forty times between 11, and that it became the site of impromptu “Frost Fairs” in 1564-65, 1683-84, 1715-16, 1739-40, 1788-14.

CAO had an enviable cash rich position as a monopoly delivering jet fuel to China, but turned out to be rubbish at trading. But with oil prices staying obstinately high for almost the whole of the past year, the company was eventually forced to announce a $550 million loss just before Christmas.Įnron was a great trading company, which failed badly at everything else, including a very expensive broadband venture and the building and operation of international power stations. The CAO case is broadly similar, with two traders in the company persistently betting that oil prices would go down by shorting oil futures. Technically, the nature of CAO’s collapse is more similar to the collapse of Barings Bank in the early 1990s when Nick Leeson kept doubling up his bets on the direction of the Nikkei, eventually crashing out when the Kobe earthquake finally quashed his desperate hope of an upturn. The two cases throw up some interesting issues. The brilliant account of major corporate wrongdoings in the US comes at a time when many Chinese companies have been shown to be flawed, including the recent case of Singapore-listed China Aviation Oil. Bethany McLeans’s and Peter Elkind’s ‘The smartest guys in the Room’ is the must-read story of Enron’s rise and fall.
