Even if no military clash occurs, Bush's skills will be tested further in the weeks and months ahead.

Brazil's fractious Congress has moved quickly to capitalize on the slippage in public enthusiasm. In July it approved an inflationary wage-indexation program that calls for monthly upward adjustments of salaries.

If Canadians, French and English speaking alike, choose to be part of that pattern, the current crisis over Quebec will pass just as those earlier ones did, perhaps never to be repeated again...

...they walked out of their school in March 1956. "We were just feeling our way," says Wilhelm Wiethoff, a secondary-school teacher. "For a working-class boy like me to have graduated seemed enough." Making money did not figure high on anyone's agenda.
