Easier to read
I received my copy of the Militant today. Stunning!!! I typically read the paper on-line in part because I find it easier to read on-line as opposed to newsprint. The changes made in printing the Militant may have been based primarily on economics and efficiency, which are important for the newspaper, but they also make for much easier reading.

Same working-class news
The new look of the paper is okay, but the main thing is the quality of news and editorials is still the same honest, working-class news as it has been since the Militant began.

I didn’t know much about Paraguay, let alone the news about the previous 35-year dictatorship and the political space that has opened up since then, until I read the article in the July 29 issue of the Militant.

I guess workers in Paraguay knew as little about us as I had about them, because they couldn’t believe there were revolutionaries inside the United States.

Enclosed is a contribution to keep making these reporting teams possible.

‘Militant’ is indispensable
Here’s a small contribution to help with the costs of the reporting trips to Latin America. As usual, the Militant is indispensable for thinking workers who are trying to understand the events unfolding in the world.

I’ve just finished reading the first article from the team in Paraguay. It was excellent. Keep up the good work.
