Occurred in June 2000, in Rio de Janeiro city, the kidnapping of a 174-route bus, which resulted in the death of both the teacher Geisa Firmo Gonçalves and the killer, Sandro do Nascimento, is the central theme of the movie “Última Parada 174” (Last Stop 174), by Bruno Barreto, released last October as shown in this edition editorial which is entitled “Affection and no whip for the weak souls”. 

In the present edition, one of the headlines is the interview that Luis Roberto Scholl has given to our collaborator and editor Antonio Augusto Nascimento. Born in Santo Angelo city, Rio Grande do Sul state, where he lives, Luis Roberto Scholl tells your trajectory of continuous involvement in the Spiritist Doctrine, after finding on it the answers for the inquiries through out the life distresses. An active participant of the Spiritist Movement in his city, the confrere integrates the team of this magazine. 

Another highlight this week is the special report “School, parents and children: the challenges of the new era”, in which the confrere Abel Sidney emphasizes that the inattention from the parents to their children has caused all kinds of problems and one of them is the overload suffered by the schools because of this lack of attention. The school has been, according to some people, one of the institutions that is most affected by family disorders.
