...ignominious place in Peruvian history. The son of Japanese immigrants, he ran for the presidency in 1990 as an unknown, bolting from obscurity to beat the frontrunner, the country's best-known author Mario Vargas Llosa. Even though he had no experience in government, his administration swiftly dealt with runaway inflation, which was running near 8,000% when he took power.

You get some bad apples in there occasionally.” After the forum, some military members of the audience, who asked not to be identified by name, said that too many of the questioners dealt with policy, and criticized the questioners’ failure to understand that Casey is not a policy-maker...
