Back in the good old days of Ike and John Foster Dulles, MR ran an article entitled "Costa Rica: Citadel of Democracy," by Elena de la Souchère (MR, June 1955). "While the neighboring countries are subjected to the rule of turbulent military castes," the author wrote, "Costa Rica lacks even a standing army; and the proportion of its budget going to public education is larger than that devoted to military ends." In the following article (translated by Anibal Yanez) John Saxe-Fernandez, who teaches at both the University of Mexico and California State College at San Diego, shows how this deplorable and uncivilized state of affairs has been remedied by the administrations of John F. Kennedy and his successors. - The EditorsThis article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website
