Verheugen seemed to be enjoying his trip immensely: he feasted on stuffed vine leaves and pastry filled with sheep's cheese in the southeastern city of Diyarbakir.

This glitzy cafe opening seems an odd counterpoint to the poncho-clad Juan Valdez and his trusty mule Conchita, but the advertising icon needs all the fanfare he can muster for his daunting new mission: to make Colombian coffee hip enough for the Starbucks generation to start...
