SANTIAGO.- The late professor Juan Bosch’s birthday was celebrated with a mass in the Santiago Apostle Cathedral, one of the activities which will conclude today with a wreath laying in La Vega’s municipal cemetery.

Several PLD party leaders and senior Government officials attended the religious service, including Euclides Gutiérrez, who recently dictated a conference on the life of the former President, writer and politician.

Bosch was born in La Vega June 30, 1909.

Happy Birthday Don Juan...

Unfortunately for Don Juan he sullied himself somewhat near the end by reaching a compromise with that snake Balaguer..

With the high spirit of a bourgeois liberal, the illustrous Juan Bosch fought hard for the Dominican people and for all of humanity.

Bosch came within only a mere inch of greatness.

Only the savage full power of US imperialism was mighty enough to first impede him and later stop him.

But he will win.

During the 1974 Presidential Elections, Juan Bosh was the candidate for his newly formed PLN; Partido Liberacion Nacional; Francisco P. Gomez was the candidate for the party that J. Bosch formed in Havana Cuba, in 1938, the PRD; Partido Revolucionario Dominicano; The thing that baffles me about that year's election is that Bosch and Gomez agitated , and acted as if they were going to (either one of them) defeat Joaquin Balaguer; If I remember correctly, Bosch withdrew his candidacy; Days before the election Gomez followed his example. Therefore, Balaguer ran with no opposition. Guess who won? Balaguer, of course!! So when I saw the Mugabe victory in Zimbabwe last week; I thought of 1974, when Gomez and Bosch, played the same game here in the Caribe with "El Titere" Balaguer, the front man for the Trujillo's, and other dark and unknown characters that run governments from behind the scenes....Happy Birthday, "Literary Story-Teller Bosh". Ese era el cuantoso de Juan Bosh!
