...that the economy will grow by 3.2% next year, 4% in 2010, and 4.6% in 2012. It would be hard to find a well-regarded forecast which is that optimistic. The IMF has a much darker view of the pace of economic recovery.

...fellow hostage Ingrid Betancourt, a French-Colombian who was kindapped while campaigning for the Colombian presidency and was rescued along with the Americans and 11 other hostages last summer. The authors describe the married Betancourt as carrying on an affair with a Colombian hostage, acting like a privileged blue-blood - "a frickin' princess" in Stansell's telling - bossing around the other prisoners and hoarding precious books, food and a transistor radio. They even claim that she told the guerrillas that the Americans were CIA agents. Asked to elaborate on Betancourt, Stansell told TIME: "That's an infection I lived with...
