Instead of using four or five established political works as reference points, I would have focused on <strong>your</strong> ideas about the value of soft and hard political methodologies and given the texts as examples of each. I have kept as many of your ideas as possible, deferring to your greater expertise in this subject, and I hope I haven't contributed to losing your voice and opinions in the essay. If you have time, you might want to make it more Maya-centered than expert-centered, if that makes sense.<br /><br />Best wishes - TypeRighter (aka George)<br /><br /><br /><br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; <br /><br /><br />
