...most populous countries, Brazil and Mexico, as well as in coca producers like Peru and Ecuador. Leftists have toppled conservative governments in Uruguay and Honduras, and socialist Michelle Bachelet is favored to win Chile's presidential runoff on Jan. 15. To punctuate the situation, the radical left-wing President of oil-rich Venezuela, Hugo Chávez--the "new mayor of the Latin American street," says Larry Birns, director of the Washington-based Council on Hemispheric Affairs--is all but certain to be re-elected at year...

Former Corporation for Public Broadcasting chief Kenneth Tomlinson forced right-wing viewpoints onto the public network, in an effort to balance supposed liberal bias, in particular that of NOW with Bill Moyers. It would have been a more convincing argument if Moyers had not left the show months before. This clumsy partisan meddling-from the head of the very body meant to shield public broadcasting from political influence...
