These meet-and-greets present risks to all parties involved. Dr. Santiago Gallo, a gastroenterologist who has treated dolphins in Mexico, reports cases in which dolphins have swallowed keys, a swimming cap and even a disposable diaper. Worse, critics charge that several dolphins have died prematurely at Manati because of toxic waters. Responds Javier Moreno, the owner of Manati: "If there are deaths, this is not a surprise. These are animals. There is a cycle of life. They die. They are born." He plans to expand the facility and add five dolphins to the roster next year...
...lever almost anyone into a deal by preying on the fear of being left out. Last month, for instance, he wanted to speed up Brazil's march to free trade. But local politics were holding that up. So instead of flying to Sao Paulo, Zoellick flew to Santiago, where he inked a deal with Chile. The result was like a chapter from The Rules: Brazil now wants to speed up talks. But not everyone--the mobs that raged in Quebec, say, or Congressmen from steelmaking districts--can be levered. Zoellick will have to break them or go around them. Some...
...democracy and free markets took steadily deeper root, laying a foundation of common values as well as a self-conscious resolve to pursue common causes. One of the centerpieces of that resolve has been the Summit of the Americas process, begun in Miami in 1994 and renewed in Santiago, Chile, in 1998.

We have committed ourselves to negotiate a Free Trade Area of the Americas - a historic accommodation that will benefit all nations...
...They represent a potential clash of every conceivable kind of interest (except one, since nondemocratic Cuba is excluded), made more acute by the economic uncertainty. And as a carefully stage-managed event designed to cement pan-American solidarity, the Quebec City summit, like its predecessors in Miami and in Santiago in 1998, inevitably raises questions about the hemisphere's ability to rise above national interests to make the Miami dream a reality...
...ambassador to the Organization of American States (OAS) and Washington's summit coordinator. "We've progressed more in the past five years than the European Community did in 30 years after the war. Let's give ourselves some credit." It's also worth noting that, as in Miami and Santiago, none of the leaders in Quebec City will be wearing military uniforms. Adds Lauredo: "These are summits of civil society, not of dictators." Indeed, in countries like Mexico, Peru and Chile, democracies have been considerably strengthened since 1994. Financial crises that overwhelmed Mexico in 1994 and Brazil in 1999 have...
