...Processing over 50 million cubic feet of gas per day, the Repsol Rio Grande in Bolivia's eastern state of Santa Cruz sends gas to Bolivia and Brazil. Before the Spanish firm took over in 1997, the state-run facility barely functioned properly because of a lack of resources.

Niceness is on the march, darn it. Power of Nice's Thaler and Koval are exporting their philosophy with printings in such countries as New Zealand, Brazil and South Korea.

Lula, as he is known to Brazil's 125 million voters, was forced into a runoff in the first round of voting, hurt mainly by a corruption scandal involving his party. But on the eve of Sunday's runoff vote he is far ahead of his rival, as most analysts expected. "If you look at the course of the last five or six months there...

...twofold: First, Lula convincingly portrayed the former physician as the candidate of the rich, and Alckmin could not shake off the image in the minds of many voters of a button-down bogeyman out to privatize state assets and roll back the generous benefits programs that help many of Brazil's poor survive. Alckmin performed so well in the debates that Lula called their first confrontation the worst night of his political life. But in a country where informality reigns, Alckmin's starched collars and finely cut suits did not ingratiate him with the poor northeasterners whose support he needed...
