...where Figueroa, a California native, is focusing his efforts ahead of the Lone Star State's March 4 vote. One of his main goals? To win over Hispanics traditionally loyal to the Clintons. The son of farmworkers, it's a natural fit for Figueroa. The campaign's outreach includes Spanish-language media, bilingual phone banks, faith forums and economic roundtables. "We fight like hell for every vote," he says...
...centuries?the great warships weighing anchor and heading out to sea on the morning tide. Nearby, as a reminder of the glorious past, was the Victory, the flagship of Lord Nelson when he sailed out through the same channel to win his great victory over the French and Spanish at Trafalgar in 1805.

To opponents, however, the question is one of international law, national sovereignty and precedent. China, for example, reacted much like the Spanish and Slovaks, worried that Taiwan could be spurred to declare independence. Russia is invested on the Serbian side both for strategic and fraternal reasons. Wary of national claims in the Caucasus and elsewhere, Russian President Putin has loudly defended Serbia, which shares the same Orthodox Christian roots as Russia. Moscow also...
