Not the Pope's Peru

Abstract

Peru, yet another South American country under the thumb or U.S. corporate and international capital, has recently had an election.

But will he maintain power without forming a coalition with the U.S- backed military? Kerri Carrington was in Peru before the elections and wrote this special report.
