...plane carrying three U.S. military contractors crash-landed in rebel territory in southern Colombia. The survivors - Marc Gonsalves, Keith Stansell and Thomas Howes - were taken hostage by fierce Marxist guerrillas the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces, better known by the Spanish acronym FARC. The initial rescue operation fell apart. Instead of finding the contractors, two companies of Colombian soldiers stumbled upon a buried rebel cache of $20 million, then deserted and splurged their newfound fortune on booze, sex and flat-screen televisions. The forgotten hostages spent the next five years in captivity. But with the help of billions of dollars...

Social Studies presents its students with conflicting theoretical approaches amongst which they must choose. Regardless of whether they find psychoanalytic, post-structuralist, Marxist, or Weberian theory more compelling, all students are welcome in Social Studies...
...staff to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva; she's also his personal choice to succeed him as the Workers' Party presidential candidate in October's general election. The constitution prevents Lula from seeking a third consecutive term, which is why he picked the tough-talking former Marxist-Leninist to carry on his progressive policies. But to win the job, Dilma - who, like many Brazilian public figures is known by just one name - will need Lula out on the campaign trail...
