...catch: Colombia had to devalue its peso, a move that would be highly unpopular. Lleras flatly refused, stirred up nationalistic fires in Colombians by informing them that "the governing of the nation was entrusted to us and not to the international organizations."

By the projection of silhouettes on a backdrop, a slip of a girl was transformed into a creature of menace, revealing refinements of line unnoticed in the round. In the final...
