Clinton went south to meet with President Andres Pastrana and formally launch a controversial $1.3 billion military aid package to help the Colombian government battle an unholy alliance of drug lords and Marxist guerrillas.

Today Serfaty lives in a seaside villa courtesy of the palace. "Hassan II was feudal," says Serfaty. "But Mohammed VI is modern. He does not have an authoritarian disposition...

Small, hastily constructed pamphlets lauding the Shining Path in Peru and the unfair imprisonment of Abimael Gúzman are two shelves away from a book more likely found at the Coop, on research into the effects of globalization and international for-profit companies. Nevertheless, pure Marxist theory prevails. The most popular book, according to George Bryant, a Revolution employee, is Karl Marx’s Das Capital...
