...Lula should have plenty of support for his strategy, since surveys show most Latin Americans have soured on closer trade ties with the U.S. Latin poverty has worsened amid capitalist reforms - a big reason why Bolivians last month forced free- marketeer President Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada to resign. In Peru, the polling firm APOYO has found that only around one-third of voters agreed with their government's decision to take Peru out of the G-22. Lula and Brazil have harnessed decades of pent-up frustration with hefty U.S. tariffs. For example, Brazil and the U.S. together...

...downtown Lima, inside Peru's National Antiterrorism Bureau, agents are putting the finishing touches on the new Terror Museum. Most of the display cases hold police-confiscated kitsch: rebel soap carvings, music boxes that play communist hymns, all of them bearing the image of Abimael Guzmán. "Presidente Gonzalo," as his followers call him, is the leader of Shining Path, the bloodthirsty Maoist guerrillas who killed more than half of the 69,000 Peruvians who died in the armed conflicts of the 1980s and early '90s, according to a report issued in August by Peru's Truth and Reconciliation...

They were the kind of ugly street scenes that few presidencies survive. All last week, thousands of poverty-stricken Bolivians protested in the capital, La Paz, and around the country, railing at President Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada. Sánchez - or Goni, as he is called - sent the army to restore order. As Bolivian soldiers fired on demonstrators, impoverished Indian mine workers used crude slingshots to hurl lighted sticks of dynamite back at them. But they were no match for the army's tear gas and bullets, and the clashes left as many as 80 people dead...

...More than 3.5 million made it last year, compared with about 2.5 million a year for most of the '90s, according to Massey's estimates. The larger numbers mean that when things go wrong, more migrants are left to die on Texas highways and in Arizona deserts. Gonzalo, 19, a Guatemalan, barely escaped that destiny. "Last year I paid a coyote organization $2,000, and that's what finally got me into Arizona," he says as he sits in a detention pen near Minatitlan, facing deportation back to his country. "But then they just left me in the desert...
