Housing sinks Vallejo into bankruptcy
2008-05-25 22:49:00 Bloomberg News reports … Vallejo, with a population of 117,000, faces ballooning labor costs and declining housing-related tax revenue.

Vallejo, CA: A sign of times to come?
2008-02-28 18:48:00 By VictorM:While the Bush administration and fellow accomplices continue to try and disguise the serious problems they've institutionalized during their years in power, the realities of the consequences are rearing their ugly heads. Here's an example:Vallejo, a city of 135,000 outside of San Francisco, moved closer to bankruptcy after negotiations with its labor unions collapsed... Vallejo faces ballooning labor costs and declining housing-related sales-tax revenue, leaving budget officials projecting that money will run out within weeks.Municipalities throughout California are grappling with billions of dollars in labor and pension cost increases incurred during the late 1990s. The crisis comes as the worst housing slump in the U.S. in 26 years saps tax revenue. The state's own $16 billion deficit led Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger last month to declare a fiscal emergency. That's not a small town near bankruptcy. And unlike New York City years ago, this is not just mism...

Nacimiento de la esposa de César Vallejo
2008-01-05 19:09:00 El nombre de Georgette Phillipart de Vallejo nos viene a la mente el testimonio de muchas personas, la mayorÃa de ellas vinculada con el mundo literario y editorial. Todos estos testimonios, por más dispares que sean, coinciden en un punto: el carácter vehemente y reivindicativo de la viuda del poeta. El sinuoso camino de Georgette hacia Vallejo se inicia el 7 de enero de 1908. A los seis años contrajo tuberculosis y durante buen tiempo Georgette vivió en Bretaña, al norte de Francia.En una entrevista para la revista Triunfo, realizada por Ernesto González Bermejo, Georgette dice creer en la predestinación.“Cuando entré al colegio, tendrÃa once años, como todas las colegialas, soñaba con mi prÃncipe encantado (...).Yo dibujé el perfil de mi futuro prÃncipe encantado y ese prÃncipe tenÃa treinta y cinco años, era sudamericano... y poeta. El perfil era exactamente el de Vallejo.†En tanto, en 1923, el poeta peruano parte a ParÃs para nunca más volver al Perú. ...

2008-01-03 22:27:00 El escritor liberteño Eduardo González Viaña tiene como protagonista de su último libro a uno de sus paisanos más ilustres: el poeta César Vallejo. En su nueva novela Vallejo en los infiernos (Universidad César Vallejo, 2007) describe el perÃodo que estuvo en la cárcel el autor de Los heraldos negros. Además, tiene como contexto las luchas polÃticas y sociales que arreciaban a comienzos de la década de 1920.¿Fue difÃcil lidiar con el personaje César Vallejo?–Fue difÃcil, pero bello। Para mà esto era como una misión. La percibà asà desde que tenÃa 16 años y Antenor Orrego nos decÃa al Grupo Trilce que éramos los descendientes del Grupo Norte. Él me decÃa: “Tú vas a escribir una novela sobre mi generaciónâ€. He conocido a Orrego, Haya de la Torre, SpelucÃn. También he estado en contacto con el expediente judicial de Vallejo.
