...Summit of the Americas wasn't a total loss. Yes, the group of 34 nations didn't agree on a trading pact, a vision of Bush's Free Trade Agreement of the America. But they did agree to keep working, and that was a defeat for Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who vowed to bury the FTAA at this meeting...
...President's grand vision of a Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (FTAA) is in trouble, as the President has himself acknowledged. Many nations in this region, reeling from economic crises which they believe have been exacerbated by the free market policies favored by both the Clinton and Bush administrations, are more wary of freer trade than they once were. Some of the regiona's most powerful nations, including hosts Argentina, are opposing the measure.

...Efforts to push regional free trade agreements seem to be faring better than the grand vision of a united economic zone from the Arctic Circle to Argentina's Tierra del Fuego.

For all that, these four men reasserted the principle that leaders matter: that an individual's vision, courageously and persuasively and intelligently pursued, can override the rather unimaginative human preference for war. If strong, focused leadership had come from Europe or from Washington, might it have averted the Bosnian bloodbath? If Jean-Bertrand Aristide were a Mandela -- and if he had some equivalent of De Klerk as partner on the other side -- could Haiti have been saved? No one can quantify a negative, but it seems obvious that...
...only took two tries for Travis R. Kavulla ’06 to achieve his vision. As newly elected editor of The Salient, Kavulla wanted his magazine to get attention. The second issue of the conservative biweekly has done that—and maybe more. The Oct. 13 magazine won not just reaction on the editorial pages of The Crimson (standard fare for the controversial magazine) but also readership in University Hall, where the president and other members of the Harvard Islamic Society (HIS) sat down with Associate Dean of the College Judith H. Kidd and S. Allen Counter...
