add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the speech delivered by the author in Pennsylvania, on November 18, 1991. From Dartmouth to Miami, the author made a firsthand look at the collapse of Pan American in its capital city. Local television devoted a great deal of time to the 7,500 workers suddenly let go, while stunned passengers crowded the ticket counters in order to read the scribbled message: "All Pan American flights canceled." Hence, according to mass media, the emphasis in his speech was on the breakup of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, or of anything other than the breakdown, if not breakup, of the United States and its economy.
