I thought LF was Juan Bosch reincarnated ! You mean to tell me, he will not even be at his own anniversary party ?

just learned that LF "aka MANDRAKE" will fly on his GV from Managua to Panama after lunch, to attend a dinner tonight honoring Torrijos (outgoung Pres.). He could fly to home and be present at Juan Bosch's party, where there are a few international dignataries attending. Amazing, Mandrake the Magnificent would rather lounge in Panama all afternoon, rather than attend "his own party". He could easily attend the ceremonies in Santiago and fly to Panama for dinner tonight. btw, most all the Heads of State have already returned to the respective countries after their Managua pow-wow ! LF has not !
