...collapse of the cartel would hurt some producers much more than others. Guillermo Bedregal Gutierrez, the Bolivian Planning Minister, says the fall in tin prices could cost his poverty-ridden country $180 million a year in lost foreign-exchange earnings. But Thailand and Malaysia have managed to cushion themselves against the recent market glut and falling prices by steadily diversifying their economies...
...DIED. GUILLERMO CABRERA INFANTE, 75, inventive Cuban-born novelist known for his offbeat humor and vivid evocations of pre-Castro Cuba; of a blood infection; in London.

The coming challenges in domestic, foreign and economic policy will determine whether his "citizen's socialism" will work. "Up until now he's been throwing carrots to the masses," says Guillermo de la Dehesa, a prominent Spanish banker and economist. "It's only now that he faces tough issues, and we're all waiting to see how he does." One of Zapatero's first tasks will be to establish his credentials in foreign policy, especially the Iraq war and the strains...
