SANTIAGO — Manuel Araya, quien fuera chofer del Nobel de Literatura chileno Pablo Neruda y que por décadas afirmó que el poeta fue envenenado antes de exiliarse, murió producto de un aneurisma, se informó el miércoles.Araya siempre cuestionó la versión oficial de que la muerte de Neruda ocurrida el 23 de septiembre de 1973 -12 días después del golpe militar- se debió a complicaciones de un cáncer de próstata con metástasis.El conductor falleció la víspera, a los 77 años, por un aneurisma que lo mantenía hospitalizado luego de sufrir problemas cardiovasculares el 12 de junio, informó el miércoles el Partido Comunista, en el que Neruda militó toda su vida. ¿Murió enfermo o lo envenenaron?

Aaron Rodgers talks mental heath at psychedelics conference

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 22:21:34 GMT

DENVER (AP) — An eclectic crowd of thousands — podcasters, vendors, startups, seekers — swarmed a psychedelics conference in Denver this week to experience everything from a dimly lit hall packed with kaleidoscope art and a wide-ranging lineup of speakers from a former Republican governor to NFL star quarterback Aaron Rodgers.The conference, put on by a psychedelic advocacy group, took place months after Colorado’s voters decided to join Oregon in decriminalizing psychedelic mushrooms. While it’s a sign of growing cultural acceptance for substances that proponents say may offer benefits for things like post-traumatic stress disorder and alcoholism, medical experts caution that more research is needed on the drugs’ efficacy and the extent of the risks of psychedelics, which can cause hallucinations. Missing sub search ‘a huge challenge,’ retired Navy officer explains Rodgers, who’ll soon debut with the New York Jets after years with the Green Bay Packers, spoke Wednesday night with...
