		The total population of the islands at 1991 was estimated at 2100.
		The fact that the islands are 100% populated by English speaking "Kelpers" (about 1800 of them), who prefered to remain under British rule notwithstanding, virtually every child in Argentina was made to believe that the islands are Argentine, and that this "imperialistic injustice" ought to be reversed.
		General Mario Menendez is proclaimed military governor of the islands, and as Galtieri predicted, the move proves to be extremely popular: In Buenos Aires, where the unions had a week earlier demonstrated against the government, there are massive outbursts of solidarity in the streets.

	URBANOWICZ ON DARWIN/September 1996
		Charles Darwin was an extremely important individual for a variety of reasons: the data he collected, the experiments he conducted, and the theories he proposed influenced a variety of disciplines, from anthropology to zoology as well as ecology, geology, and the general social sciences.
		Robert Darwin had the distinction of being the largest man that Charles Darwin ever observed: Robert Darwin was some six feet two inches in height, with a tremendous girth, and the last time he weighed himself he was at some 360 pounds (or 24 stone in the measurement system of the day).
		Darwin was essentially confined to his home at Down as a result of his illness from his South American research and he really did not take part in the great public and scientific debates that came about with the publication of Origin.

		From Darwin we drove on to Goose Green, it's a sad looking place, it is or was the second largest settlement in the Falklands behind Stanley.
