...that he was not a chilly and unbending bureaucrat, but a basically gentle man with excellent listening skills and a gift with words. He has welcomed his longtime theological nemesis Hans K?ng for a long chat at the Pope's Castel Gandolfo. Benedict's first encyclical was not a finger-wagging treatise on doctrine, but a paean to Christian love. The sometimes shy pontiff has even begun to enjoy all the adoration heaped upon him by the piazzas full of faithful.

Health care is more problematic, since getting sick puts...
...much as his political opponents try, it isn't easy to put a finger on Ollanta Humala, the frontrunner heading into Peru's presidential election this Sunday. On the stump, Humala, 43, a retired army lieutenant colonel,is a fiery leftist, telling crowds that he would nationalize strategic industries and veto the recently negotiated free-trade agreement with the U.S., all the while railing against what he calls the "neoliberal economic model...
