[edit] More NPOV,

esp at the beginning and end, would improve this already good article. Thx, "alyosha" 07:09, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

I removed this passage from the end of the article:

Beggars in Spain combines compelling character work with a similarly compelling view of a world altered by genetic modification (and, to a lesser extent, cold fusion, though this does not receive as much fanfare; it probably could have been left out). It addresses the age-old question of how humans react when a minority holds power. At heart, though, it asks a simple moral question: what do we owe the Beggars in Spain? And, if we suddenly find that we are those beggars, what might we demand?

This passage was just too much. Without referenced sources to back this assertion up, it appears to be in violation of WP:NPOV and possibly WP:OR. I've also thrown in a "citation needed" tag for a possibly POV assertion at the top of this article. -- Antepenultimate

[edit] Translations

There is also one that appeared in Hebrew, called קבצנים בספרד, kabtzenim be'seferad, beggars in Spain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.125.57.145 (talk) 02:07, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
