Stone extends his rigorous dichotomy to the film's structure. The first half focuses on Chávez, the second on other South American heads of state who tilt to the port side: Brazil's Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Paraguay's Fernando Lugo, Ecuador's Rafael Correa, Argentina's Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, Bolivia's Evo Morales and the grand old man of social revolution, Raúl Castro. (Stone profiled Raúl's brother in a similarly indulgent 2003 poli-doc, Commandante.) The only missing socialist leader is Daniel Ortega, President of Nicaragua...
...movie's second half has more appeal to a general audience, perhaps because most of the other Presidents are less famous or notorious than Chávez, perhaps because the first half has conditioned us to a rigorously genial treatment of them. Lula da Silva brags that Brazil paid off the IMF debt and that the country now has a $260 billion surplus. (Irmao, can you spare us a dime?) Morales, the first indigenous President of Bolivia, says he considers himself "less a President than a union leader." The Illinois-educated Correa says smilingly that the U.S. can again have...

...minutes into the match, when junior co-captain Gina Wideroff sent a lob in from 20 yards out. Sheeleigh headed the lofty ball straight at Wildcat goalie Ally Yost, who handled the shot but couldn’t manage to corral the rebound. The Harvard forward’s second attempt rocketed off her right foot and into the cage.“Pretty wild goal, I know,” Crimson coach Ray Leone said. “A great little half chance by Sheeleigh, and I’m glad she took it. A great player will score...
