...Bachelet inherits the reins of power on March 11 from fellow Socialist Party leader Ricardo Lagos, hailed as one of Chile's most successful presidents ever, who leaves office with approval ratings above 70%. So while she'll initiate a sea-change within Chile's traditionally macho corridors of power-she has already hinted that women will fill half of the posts in her cabinet-she'll be concerned about preserving the continuity of the country's impressive economic performance. Chile's economy grew 6.3% in 2005, and this year the growth forecast is between 5.25 and 6.25%, fueled mostly...

The platform on which "macho" Spain elected Zapatero in March of last year included pulling the troops out of Iraq and legalizing homosexual marriage. He's done both, and the latter move has outraged the PP. Backed by the bishops, it has rushed to the Constitutional Court, insisting it's implicit in the relevant section...
