...Good Oar. The scion of a modest Gooderham inheritance was sent to a primary boarding school in Pomfret, Conn., then to Groton, which left another mark: he learned that he was of the elite, chosen and trained to serve, and to solve problems.

Now the editors have decided to combine Canada and Latin America into a single new department, the better to report the news of their increasingly collective actions. In the last ten years, for instance, trade between Canada and Latin America has increased 1,000%. Whereas Canada's trade with Latin America...
