...city where he has lived (and was shot after chasing a mugger in 2004) for most of the past five years. Songs like The Tourist ("I'm just another tourist, checking out the slums"), written pre-Katrina, are well observed, but his strength is less as a broad social critic than as the creator of mini domestic dramas. Creatures of Little Faith is a barbed story of domestic misery, while Next Door Neighbour is reminiscent of the Kinks' Well Respected...

No candidates have officially announced for this year's vote, but former Economic Minister Rafael Correa, a strong critic of the IMF, free trade and the United States, could be a contender. He may find himself up against another candidate inspired by the left-wing, nativist triumph of Evo Morales in Bolivia: Auki Tituana, the mayor of the Indian ecotourism enclave Cotacachi, not far from the capital of Quito. Leon Roldos, the brother of the late President Jaime Roldos, is also...
