I very much appreciated your eloquent and on-the-mark editorial ('Boy on a swing', #169) invoking Oscar Arias and Esquipulas as a possible example for restoring peace in Nepal. Having been active in solidarity with the Central American revolutions of the 1980s and opposition to the Reagan and Bush administrations, it warmed my heart to see that historic moment resurrected and applied to the present juncture in Nepal.
