In addition to editing the monthly Perspectiva Mundial, Koppel has growing editorial responsibilities for Pathfinder's Spanish-language publishing program. Pathfinder has expanded its titles in Spanish, and in the coming months plans to release the Spanish-language editions of From the Escambray to the Congo: In the Whirlwind of the Cuban Revolution by Víctor Dreke; The History of American Trotskyism by James P. Cannon; and Their Trotsky and Ours: Communist Continuity Today by Jack Barnes. Koppel will remain an active member of the Militant staff, in addition to continuing to edit Perspectiva Mundial.

To facilitate these ambitious plans the Militant has agreed to release Koppel from his assignment as editor, and has appointed Greg McCartan to replace him. McCartan has twice served as editor of the paper and has shared substantial editorial responsibilities with Koppel over the past year.

Staff writer Maggie Trowe will be leaving the paper with this issue to help build the communist movement in New York, where she is a leader of the Garment District branch of the SWP. Trowe, the Socialist Workers Party vice-presidential candidate in 2000, joined the staff with the conclusion of the campaign in December of that year. For the past six months she has been on leave of absence from the Militant at the request of Pathfinder's printshop, where she has been part of efforts to reorganize work there.
