...President's Cabinet chief and most trusted aide Anibal Fernandez (no relation) expressed his boss's dislike for Cobos more bluntly two days later: "Cobos cannot be trusted with the management of public affairs. The Vice President has become Cobos Iscariot." The President's supporters are concerned Argentina's veep might make use of the President's absence during an upcoming trip to China to call a special session of Congress and reject a recent executive decree ordering the seizure of central bank reserves to pay off part of Argentina's voluminous foreign debt.

People just have far more choices than they ever had. And that has both complicated and weakened and made more interesting the institution of marriage. Anybody who thinks that we're going to return to some sort of more tribal, feudal version...
...governments in places like Chiapas, where the weapons were found, are using 2010 fears as a pretext for cracking down on social activists. "They're drawing questionable links between advocates for the poor and armed groups," says Maerker, who adds there's little evidence that Hernandez is an EPR boss.
