...crisis ends, there is widespread agreement that developing economies such as Brazil, China and India will be crucial to ensuring that demand remains buoyant. Lula, too, has changed. These days he's a pragmatist who is as popular inside corporate boardrooms as he is in the favelas. On March 17, he will meet new U.S. President Barack Obama - a fellow moderate liberal who shares Lula's passion for green-energy ventures - in the White House. He will be the first Latin American leader to meet Obama since he took office, a sign, perhaps, that the new U.S. Administration sees Brazil...

Senator Patrick Leahy's advocacy for a truth commission, charged with uncovering facts about alleged torture and civil-liberties abuses by the Bush Administration, is warranted [March 2]. Despite all that is right about our country, it is painfully clear that we tend to set aside the moral and ethical breaches in our history. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission set up in South Africa in the aftermath of apartheid was designed to encourage a national catharsis of a shameful past. Most agree that the effort was worthwhile. Some would say there can be no forgiveness without repentance. The Bush-Cheney...
