I
support myself as a freelance journalist in Peru and in
the past ten years I have worked at newspapers across the
United States. Here is a sampling of some of my reporting.
Peru's
rebel leader unrepentant at his trial -
Abimael Guzman, the 69-year-old founder of the Maoist Shining
Path guerrilla movement, brought his first public trial
to a halt with a defiant protest for television cameras.
The brutal insurgency that he led paralyzed Peru for more
than two decades and cost almost 70,000 lives. - The
San Francisco Chronicle
Terror
accomplice's case stirs Peru - Lori Berenson
was arrested, tried and imprisoned in Peru nine years ago
for terrorism. She insists she is innocent but Peruvian
authorities say she is not. Her legal battle for freedom
may put the country's efforts against terrorism at risk.
- The Washington Times
The
price of protest - As Peru was in the
middle of hosting the continent-wide soccer tournament,
The Copa America, workers unions called a nation wide strike.
Although the strike and protests were minor, the event highlighted
the difficuly Peru is having moving past such problems.
- The Northern Report
Life
on the Beach
- Colan is a beach where Peruvians go for recreation,
tourists are a rarity. But an enterprising couple from Oxnard,
Calif. have opened a little bungalow hotel at the end of
this little slice of paradise to spend working half of every
year. - The Northern Report
