...easy to see that Maria Marcovaldi loves sea turtles. There is an image of the long-lived beast (some reach age 70) on her T shirt. And miniature re-creations of the animal (which can grow to a length of 7 ft. and weigh 1,500 lbs.) hang from her necklace and earrings. Driving her Jeep along the beach at Praia do Forte in northern Brazil, she hits the brakes and suddenly does something surprising.

For all those reasons, no one can rule out the possibility that he might just decide to throw up his hands and go. But everything in his past insists otherwise. In much of his political life, whether it involved welfare reform, tax cutting or health care, Clinton has been famously open to compromise and tactical retreat. Where...
