...impatient man. When Mexican President Vicente Fox Quesada wants to make a phone call, he's as likely to dial himself as to wait for a secretary to do it. When he needs to talk to an adviser, he discards the standard chief-executive drill of sending a flunky to summon the official. Instead, boot heels clacking on the wooden floors of Los Pinos--the Mexican White House--Fox strides down the hall to the adviser's office himself...
...more embodies this shift than the Mexican President, Vicente Fox Quesada. His election last year was a political earthquake, in part because it broke the 71-year-long one-party rule of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or P.R.I. Fox spent most of his business career working in Mexico City for Coca-Cola, the quintessential American company, and he likes to say--much as Ronald Reagan did--that U.S. business practices can be used to reform federal government.

A limited number of tickets were available for fans, who were given the rare opportunity to mingle with the heroes behind their heroes...
...standing tensions and rivalries between NAFTA and Mercosur have blossomed into a behind-the-scenes tug-of-war over the summit agenda.

Bush, Mexican president Vicente Fox Quesada and the mercurial Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez Frías - alongside such veterans as the durable Jean Chrétien of Canada and Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso...
...army in name only. Their leaders rolled into Mexico City after a two-week tour of southern and central Mexico aimed at building political support for a campaign to press Congress to pass legislation expanding Indian rights. That demand is considered perfectly reasonable even by President Vicente Fox Quesada, and Sunday's event lacked the charge of demonstrations in the old days when outraged citizens filled the Zocalo to demand free and fair elections. The crowd that gathered for this last stop on the "Zapatour" couldn't even be bothered, most of them, to chant slogans...
