    Stop reckless funding of Latin militaries

    BY OSCAR ARIAS

    Latin America is enveloped in a climate of uncertainty and turmoil that I had hoped our region would never experience again. The recent coup d'état in Honduras, which has embroiled that country in a constitutional crisis, has provided a sad reminder that despite the progress our region has made, the errors of our past are still all too close. I have been asked by the leaders of our region to serve as the mediator in this crisis. Once again, we must trust that dialogue -- so often scorned...

    Pope sees Obama as ally on poverty

    BY E.J. DIONNE

    When President Obama meets with Pope Benedict XVI today, there will be no right-wing Catholic demonstrators upbraiding the pontiff, as they did in Notre Dame this year, for conferring the church's legitimacy upon this liberal politician.

  • PALIN, MCNAMARA

    Public officials should know when to fold 'em

    BY DAVID BRODER

    Two vastly different public officials -- Robert McNamara and Sarah Palin -- shared the spotlight this past week, triggering fresh thoughts about one of the classic dilemmas of governmental careers: When and how do you quit?

  • LAKE OKEECHOBEE

    Public safety is highest priority

    For the past several weeks, interest in Lake Okeechobee water levels seemed to be waning. But now, as the lake begins to fill, interest is growing. As I hear information that is accurate, yet seems contradictory, I am moved to reach out to explain how the Corps manages this important resource.

    I confess I was not eagerly watching the mail this summer for an engraved invitation to a 20-year reunion of the 1989 Oakland A's, even though I covered them daily for The Sacramento Bee. But neither was I expecting the waves of Canseco-bashing recently launched by some of the teammates who profited greatly by Jose's talents.

  • MANUEL ZELAYA

    I did not orchestrate coup in Honduras

    BY OTTO J. REICH

    It is not often that an ambassador of a foreign country publicly accuses a private U.S. citizen of being the ''architect'' of a coup d'état against a third country. Yet that is what happened recently when the Venezuelan ambassador to the Organization of American States, Roy Chadderton, charged me with orchestrating the removal of Honduras President Manuel Zelaya.

  • ROBERT MCNAMARA

    Consumed by the Vietnam War

    BY JOSEPH A. CALIFANO JR.

    In 1961 at the start of the Kennedy administration, I went to work for Defense Secretary Robert McNamara. McNamara (who had insisted as a condition of taking the Pentagon job that President Kennedy give him authority to make all appointments in the department) recruited an energetic young team to wrestle with the Pentagon behemoth.
