...said he wished to stay on only until a referendum has been held on the natural-gas issue and a special national assembly addresses Bolivia's socioeconomic crisis, to "peacefully resolve our ancient hatreds."

For now, the front-runner in any election would be Morales, 43, who also leads the Movement to Socialism Party. Should he win, it would be one more piece of evidence that Latin America's backlash against globalization - especially the capitalist reforms that have so far done more harm than...

General Assembly’s annual summit last week, one prominent figure was not in attendance: the president of the United States. Bush arrived afterward and delivered an aloof and defensive speech in which he asked for the support of the U.N. in the rebuilding of Iraq.
