In states that passed "apology laws" that let doctors express regret when things go badly without having it thrown back at them in court, some hospitals have seen malpractice suits drop by half. Any marriage counselor can tell you that love means always having to say you're sorry. An apology is that rare instrument that restores strength through an act of surrender.

He hit the stump not in the lefty-red attire favored by FMLN leaders (and by Chavez) but in white guayabera shirts. He also assuaged voter fears by convincing his own party to drop its insistence on lifting El Salvador's amnesty for civil-war crimes, on revising the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) and on reversing El Salvador's 2001 adoption of the U.S. dollar as its currency...
