...decades, the Summit revolving restaurant (summitrestaurant.com.au) was one of Sydney's mild disappointments. No one could fault the view-47 floors high and completing a revolution every 105 minutes, it offered stunning panoramas of one of the world's prettiest cities. But the food-doled out buffet-style at steel counters-was unimpressive and the décor was forgettable. Locals avoided the place, and tourists felt shortchanged. All that unfulfilled potential is now in the past, however. Following a spectacular recent revamp, the Summit is finally attaining heights worthy of its name.

Last fall the U.S. President met violent street protests at the Summit of the Americas in Argentina, where his hemispheric free-trade proposal was buried--and where Argentine President Néstor Kirchner, another leftist, heads a growing revolt against the U.S.-backed debt policies of the International Monetary Fund. For much of the 1990s, governments from Mexico City to Buenos Aires embraced the free-market reforms known as the Washington Consensus. But that is no longer true. In 1998 the richest 10% of Latin America...
KING MET WITH 78 "NONBLACK" MINORITY LEADERS ON Thursday, March 14, for an anxious summit closed to reporters. Mostly unknown to each other, let alone to King, they ventured by invitation from across the U.S. to Paschal's Motor Lodge in the heart of black Atlanta.
