...power to recall it. Another was when I went to the hearing on whether we should label cloned [genetically modified] meats. I didn't even know there was such as thing as cloned meats.

...disadvantage thanks to lingering discrimination in the hemisphere and the world. (The U.S. wouldn't recognize Haiti until 1862, and Nicolas Sarkozy's visit there two weeks ago was, remarkably, the first ever by a French head of state.)

...priority for any earthquake-battered country: getting food, water and medical aid to the hardest-hit zones. Rescuers were hampered in Concepción over the weekend by tear-gas smoke fired at grocery-store looters - an embarrassing scene that prompted Bachelet to arrange for vendors to give free food away...
