Unless you're the wrong age at the wrong time. Since there is less time for their newfangled accounts to grow, many employees in their 40s and early 50s could face the prospect of a 30% to 50% reduction in their final benefits. To ease the transition, some companies, including Citigroup, Aetna and Cigna, are protecting long-serving employees by keeping them on the traditional plan, and others are making higher contributions to older workers' accounts.

Although an arrest order has been issued for Briceno, the rebels are refusing to hand him over to authorities. And it's doubtful that he will face the FARC's military tribunal: his brother is second-in-command of the FARC, a Marxist guerrilla group that controls a large swath of Colombian territory.
