[edit] Assassination

When he was killed, he was stuffed into the luggage case of the car and drove to one of the conspirators house, where he was later found by two military men doing raids for his assasins wasnt he? it was reported when they opened the cars luggage case they saw "el jefe" dead. and start weeping. but here it says he was left for dead on the bulevard I only skimmed this, but when I come across "megalomaniacal" I wonder about NPOV. - Hephaestos 04:52 11 Jun 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism?

Has this page been vandalised by someone?

It appears to have been vandalised. I'm going to revert back to the previous version. - mzagaja

[edit] Aftermath

I just fixed a bit of grammar there, but I didn't quite know what the author wanted to say about changing placenames so I deleted the phrase. Perhaps someone knows what I mean.

[edit] Enviromental policy?

Jared Diamond's book Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed states that Trujillo was responsible for supporting sustainable management of the Dominican Republic's forests, which eventually contributed to the Republic's comparative wealth and stability, as opposed to Haiti which eventually suffered collapse due to mismanagement of it's own natural resources. Although the book doesn't go into details about why, it says that Trujillo was deeply passionate about conservation, and he believed that all the forests in the Dominican Republic should be protected. Should not something about this be in the article? what other information about his enviromental ideas are there? --Krsont 20:20, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

You are confusing Trujillo with the later Joaquín Balaguer.
