Within minutes from this patio, you will see the signs. Some are spectacular. The new hotels, the four-lane highways, the landscaped apartments. And some are down-to-earth. A tractor in a field, a village clinic, a shop that sells refrigerators. Note all these things. But, above all, meet tbt people. Renaissance has a way of breeding remarkable men. Men of industry who can also love poetry. Men of courage who can also be tender. Men of vision who can also respect the past. Make a point of talking to these twentiethcentury Puerto Ricans. It won’t be long before you appreciate the deeper significance of Puerto Rico’s renaissance. You’ll begin to understand why men like Pablo Casals and Juan Ramon Jimenez (the Nobel Prize poet) have gone there to live. © 1958—Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, 666 Fifth Avenue, New York 19, N.Y.
