The new pavilion will "spread the image of the Spain of today in the United States, providing insight into its traditions, culture and products, and improving its position in the world," ministry officials said.

A Nation Remembers
"It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we may take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

--Abraham Lincoln, November 19, 1863

Would You Buy Tickets Before Leaving Home? 
Disney Club Declining in Value to Members...
Walt Disney World Resort has unveiled a new, advance-purchase program that offers substantial savings on multi-day tickets for its four theme parks. With the Advance Purchase Savings program, beginning Sunday, Sept. 8, guests who buy select multi-day Park Hopper tickets before they leave home can save up to $12, versus the price for the same tickets at the theme park gate.  The problem is, this new program seems to replace most of the former Disney Club, leaving members feeling like they were left out in the cold.
