I attended Colorado State University from September 1968
to April 1970, at the height of the student unrest.
One day I went to the Lory Student Center to a political gathering of
international graduate students. My interest was to see just what was going on.
I got there early and sat in the back of the room.
As I was beginning to relax, a student from a newly independent African country suddenly approached me in
a direct and unfriendly manner, and said: "Where are you from?"
I said: "I am from Peru."
He said: "Oh, we are friends... you are too far."
It was then that I began to realize that politics and geography can make strange bedfellows.
