It was always my understanding from living in South Texas that masa was a particular kind of grind that was different from regular corn meal and flour. Maybe a search can explain that. I always thought it was not as finely ground so it didn't get as pasty.
Wish I had some now. I'm in Italy!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
