ARTS & LITERATURE:
- REVIEW: 'Global Affair Turns Upside Down' (Miami Herald, Christine Thomas)
- 'Questions for Mario Vargas Llosa - The Storyteller' (New York Times Magazine, Deborah Solomon) "Do you know any bad girls? Yes. Several. Absolutely. In Peru, there are many, but also in France and in Spain. There are a lot of bad girls in America too."
- REVIEW: The Bad Girl, by Mario Vargas Llosa (Washington Post, Jonathan Yardley) "Mario Vargas Llosa's perversely charming new novel isn't among his major books ... but it is irresistibly entertaining and, like all of its author's work, formidably smart."
- REVIEW: 'Manu Chao's Mani Message Gets Lost In The Medium' (Observer, UK, Neil Spencer) "After blazing through a dozen well-drilled numbers he picks up a Spanish acoustic for the much-loved 'Clandestino', with the crowd roaring along to the chorus, 'Peruvian - clandestino! Africano - clandestino, marijuana - illegal!'
- 'Navy Ship Ends Humanitarian Mission' (Associated Press, Lolita C. Baldor) reporting from the USNS Comfort; "A senior defense official said earlier this week that Colombia and Peru have agreed to discuss options for moving the flights to their countries. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the discussions are preliminary and no negotiations are taking place. ... countries such as Peru sought helicopters, boats and weapons to help battle heavy coca production and drug-trafficking."
- 'Forgotten Epidemic Afflicts Thousands In Peru' (McClatchy Newspapers, John Otis) from Manacamiri in Maynas, Loreto; "Last year, Peru reported 64,000 cases of malaria. ... 'People have become accustomed to malaria,' said Carlos Pacheco, a biologist and mosquito-control expert with Peru's health ministry in Iquitos, the largest city in the Peruvian Amazon. 'It's now part of the culture'."
- 'Preparing For Battle In The Fujimori Trials' (International Justcie Tribune, Lucien Chauvin) "On October 4, former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori's first appearance before Judge Pedro Urbina was postponed."
- 'Living In Exile Isn't What It Used To Be' (New York Times, Simon Romero) "The tradition of guaranteed asylum for fallen leaders is, in fact, coming under siege throughout the region, and the surprising extradition of Alberto K. Fujimori last month to Peru from Chile could turn out to be a turning point."
- OPINION: 'Stealing From The Incas' (New York Times, Christopher Heaney) The writer is a Yale graduate who lived in Peru from 2005 to 2006 on a Fulbright fellowship. He is writing a history of Hiram Bingham and Machu Picchu.
- OPINION: How Bingham Got Yale Into Trouble (Providence Journal, Char Miller) "In mid-September, the university finally acceded to the return of Peru’s patrimony. “This understanding represents a new model of international cooperation,” Yale announced, “providing for the collaborative stewardship of cultural and natural treasures.” Collaboration came with a catch; Yale retained control of some of the loot for “future study” — remnants that number upwards of 3,700 objects."
- 'Southern Copper Says Peru Strike To Extend Into Seventh Day' (Bloomberg, Heather Walsh)
- 'Southern Copper Workers Reject Peru Government Wage Plan' (Reuters)
- 'Traveller Steps Up To Peru's Challenge' (Vancouver Sun, Mary Julkowski) re: www.peruschallenge.com

- OPINION: 'Can Hugo Chavez Help Americans' (Los Angeles Times, Michael Shifter)
- 'Religion News' (The Capital, Maryland) re: Steve Stillwell, missionary to Peru at Anchor Baptist Church
- 'Native Returns To Begin New Church' (Sioux City Journal) re: Bill Yanney "Three years ago; the Yanneys pioneered a Bible School to train pastors in Arequipa, Peru. During their last year there, Bill Yanney says he began to feel the call to be a pastor back in the states. In June of this year, they obeyed that call and moved to Sioux City."
