Now, the Europeans are feeling hoodwinked: though the Bush White House will send representatives to that meeting, they aren't likely to be bearing instructions to advance the process. Indeed, Greenpeace warned this week in a letter to European Commission President Romano Prodi, "It seems likely that the U.S.A. will attempt to block decisions...
...today about globalization and its consequences. Ever-closer union means that money, goods and services are more easily exchanged-but it also means that maladies like bse can seep across borders with less resistance.

And that's hardly surprising, coming from a man whose job it is to actually run the behemoth...
...rifles hanging off the backs of chairs as they answered their e-mail. (FARC's commanders maintain their own Hotmail accounts.) I was introduced to several FARC commanders, but none was as colorful as Julian Conrado, a balladeer with a goofy mustache who manages to rhyme "Americano" with "imperio romano." He's lost three guitars in battle, he says proudly. "One of my guitars was held up by a Colombian general as a war trophy...
