...Bush's dark first-term relations with Latin America, when Chávez called Bush "the devil" in large part because the White House had tacitly backed the 2002 coup attempt. As a result, the Latin left has less anti-Yanqui fodder to ignite. Shannon's nominated successor, Arturo Valenzuela, should have an easier time as a result. Still, even if the Honduran crisis has made them temporary allies, making U.S.-Venezuela relations permanently chévere - or swell - will be one of Valenzuela's toughest tasks...
...biggest hurdle is getting customers in the door. "People are creatures of habit. They grew up and saw their parents going to check cashers, and they continue their parents' habits," says Ignacio Valenzuela, who runs Union Bank's alternative financial services. Another problem is perception. "Many people don't trust banks," says Hank Shyne, director of the Financial Service Centers of America, a trade group representing the check-cashing industry.

"I definitely looked at the medical-acceptance rates of each college and how strong their pre-med programs were, and that helped knock out a lot of colleges." Students with clear professional goals will pay more attention to the reputation of a single department than the whole university. Among the artistically inclined, the Rhode Island School of Design has always been pre-eminent, but schools like the Savannah College...
...first, the Latino community had to get the message about the protests. Enter the deejays. When his nanny told him that she and other babysitters in the neighborhood were inspired to attend the march after hearing so much about it on the radio, UCLA Professor Abel Valenzuela realized how influential the talk shows were. In other cases, chatter on the airwaves about protests elsewhere inspired left-out listeners to become accidental activists. All day long on March 22, Martha Ramirez, a tax preparer and mother of four in Kansas City, Mo., heard a deejay tell a string of curious callers...
