...like a Chinese menu," says a Latin diplomat involved in the negotiations. The U.S. is especially opposed to such "flexibility," seeing it as an excuse for Brazil and China to perpetuate rampant piracy. Hence all the pre-Miami drama. After the Cancún shock, the U.S. rushed to peel off some of the 14 G-22 members in Latin America. The region does almost half its foreign trade with the U.S. - and Brazilian officials say they suspect the U.S. of threatening smaller Latin nations, which need U.S. aid and access to its $10.5 trillion market.

But wait a minute. There's something more going on here. Peel back a layer and we can see him as a 65-year-old wry observer, sitting in an English country house, writing this scene, pretending it's part of a letter to his son, an illegitimate son who has become a Royal Governor with aristocratic pretensions and needs to be reminded of his humble...
