TIME Magazine Gives Its Take on "25 Most
Influential Hispanics"
HAV wants to know who your candidates are
By Carol Amoruso, HAV Editor
This week’s issue of Time (August 22, 2005) is meatier than a
lechón force-fed on whipped cream and mayonnaise. With Time’s
idiosyncratic selection of the
25 most influential Hispanics (note their
contradistinction with Latinos) the cover story, and a Time-commissioned
poll of Hispanics’ opinions on things like the overturning of Roe v.
Wade and U.S. policy toward Cuba, as well as some dicey
demographics, there’s much here to be digested, so to speak, and
debated.
For example, if we are to accept “influential” to mean “having a
great deal of power to change something, especially people’s behavior,”
shall we accept that folks like Narciso Rodriguez, “The Magical
Dressmaker,” and Jennifer Lopez, “The Diva from the Block,” and George
Lopez (no relation), “The Prime-Time Funny Man,” have or may change our
lives? Should we allow them to?
We want to hear your voices. You don’t have to run out (as did I),
and toss your hard-earned $3.95 to Time, Inc. Perusing can only cost
you a hit at
http://www.time.com. But read, and ponder, and let us know what you
think of their round-up.
Who’s been omitted or overlooked? Can you best Time with your
own list of 10 or more deserving candidates? And weigh in on the
“Timely” issues as well.
Give us a shout and we’ll hear you at
HAVemail@verizon.net leaving the subject line as
"HAVTIME".
