Business which will focus substantially on Miami as the number
one Hispanic City in the U.S. and bridge to the L--ktin American

This first -ever supplement appearing in Time Magazine will bring
unprecedented attention to the subject of Hispanic America and to

The unique and specialized nature of this particular advertising
