...Fund, has put the country virtually into economic receivership. In Buenos Aires last month, the government of President Fernando de la Rua introduced an emergency economic package of tax reforms and business incentives that it hopes will pull the nation back onto its feet. De la Rua also appointed Domingo Cavallo, a renowned free-marketeer, as his latest Finance Minister, with sweeping powers to dictate economic changes without legislative approval. One of Cavallo's proposed rescue measures would have slashed to zero the 14 percent Mercosur tariff that Argentina currently charges on capital goods from outside the trading bloc. Brazilian...

(A reading of 0 means that two markets are as likely to go in opposite directions as they are to go in the same direction; 1 means that two markets always go the same way.)

...Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras are in or approaching their 60s and will soon need walking frames to reach those high Cs. So what happens when the fat lady finally sings?

If the teams creation was the big music event of the 1990s, the search for the New Three Tenors is the story of the current decade...
...Another candidate-José Cura, a moodily good-looking Argentinian who is a Domingo protégé and Warner Music's great hope-may have taken himself out of contention. His is a warm, dramatic voice, but the New York Times castigated his "crude musicianship." Stunts like Cura's 1999 Royal Festival Hall recital, when he conducted his own arias, have led to a reputation for egotism and headlines like "the Ego Has Landed" (The Independent on his "posturing" London Otello). Cura now says he is "a serious artist, not interested in marketing clichés like who will...
