Viewed from washington, Latin American politics can sometimes seem like a throwback to an earlier age, as if the U.S. were watching a meeting of a Che Guevara fan club. Leftist, anti-Yanqui sentiments, thought to have faded with the 20th century, have made a comeback, embodied by leaders like Venezuela's radical Hugo Chàvez, Brazil's former union boss Luiz Inàcio Lula da Silva and Bolivia's socialist Evo Morales.

If the talks fail, Bhutto has said she will embark on her own comeback tour. Her reputation as a tireless crusader for democracy, however, has been tainted by associating with Musharraf. At the same time, she may be forced into a partnership with the President just to save her political career. "It's a damned-if-you-do and damned...

Ludwick, who scored once in each quarter, added the game-breaking goal in the third period with the Crimson holding only a slight one-goal advantage. Connolly insured the victory at the other end of the pool with a point-blank save...
