“Remarkable”
What a wonderful generously ambiguous word for a Latinamerican political leader...

“Remarkable” indeed Alberto was...
So was Fidel...
And Fulgencio...
And François...
And Omar ...
And Anastasio...
And Efraín...
And Alfredo...
And Hugo...
And Salvador...
And Augusto...
And Juan Domingo...
And Leopoldo Fortunato...

And so many, many more “remarkables”..., that luckily my humble memory doesn't recall at this very moment...
