– Reading material, including press cuttings about the mining disaster and the rescue effort, copies of the "Condorito" cartoon books (a Latin American classic), and a self-help book entitled "Tactics for Public Speaking" (Jorge Diaz said the miners were keen to able to talk eloquently to the press when they are finally rescued).

That's pretty awesome.
