With his assiduous teaching and his radio shows and newspaper columns, Martino became a popular, influential figure both for the art world and the population at large, and the graphic works in “Voz de varios registros” vividly demonstrated the artist’s populist fire.
Corretjer was not without a sense of humor, subtitling his book of poems, El Cumplido, “Narraciones arbitraries.” Another of Martino’s portfolios provided visual accompaniments for Corretjer’s revered “Yerba Bruja” in a 1970 edition published by the Instituto Cultural Puertorriqueño (ICP).
Even in this latest work, so meditative about the exigencies of canvas and paint, the land and its people are as much its true subject, and their exaltation is no less apparent and satisfying as when Martino was a social dreamer and a young man eager to meet the future beyond his hometown.

 COINTELPRO -- Groups Seeking Independence for Puerto Rico
After careful review of the proposed article, it is believed that it would not achieve the results desired; namely, to cause animosity between Juan Mari Bras and Juan Antonio Corretjer, nor would it convey to the readers of the article the dangerousness of the Puerto Rican independence groups.
As an alternative, it is suggested San Juan prepare a brief article which would be in the nature of alerting Puerto Ricans to the dangerousness of the various segments of the independence movement in Puerto Rico.
Such an article would, of course, have to be interesting enough to interest a newspaper contact to utilize the same and sufficiently informative to develop hostility in the minds of the readers towards the elements engaged in the independence movement.
