Emerging from the Palacio like a couple of spanked schoolboys, Jefes Carlos Lleras Restrepo of the Liberals and Guillermo León Valencia of the Conservatives pledged support to the government's peace program. As a starter, they sent bipartisan posses out to convince troublemakers that the killing off of each other's voters was no way to win an election...
