But in the past decade, five major South American countries, including the biggest, Brazil, have changed their constitutions to allow re-election; and one of them, Colombia, may even permit a third term...
...sustained the artists and inventors of the Renaissance. His view of giftedness is expressed through simple analogies: Educators often "want people to have equal results. But that's not likely in our world. You know, I would love to be equal to Michael Jordan in my basketball talents, but somehow I never will...
