So, books in which languages caught their eyes? Law professor Miguel Antonio Bernal, left, is highly literate in his native Spanish, but has taught in the United States, won awards for his French-language journalism and is past president of Panama's chapter of the Alliance Français. US ambassador Barbara J. Stephenson, right, has a PhD in English literature and speaks good Spanish. Both of them have jobs that require enormous amounts of reading, but they both went to the International Book Fair because they're avid readers.
