...Nobel Peace laureate, Maya Indian Rigoberta Menchú, to promote tourism. Still, if Ríos Montt loses, he also loses immunity from prosecution, which has raised fears that he might resort to desperation tactics to win. Ríos Montt dismisses these. The genocide case "is just a partisan political complaint with no proof," he says. "If the courts prosecuting cases like Kosovo find real evidence against me, I'll go before them, anywhere."

Others don't want to give up safe House seats, or they find governorships more rewarding than the highly partisan Senate, where they can get little done. But even though "we couldn't live up to the 2002 recruiting," says a G.O.P. official, the political math still leaves the party "pretty happy where we are for 2004." The Democrats need to pick up two seats to win back the Senate--a tough assignment, since they have 19 seats to defend, compared with just 15 for the Republicans...
