Bolivia: U.S. Warns Against Candidate

American aid to Bolivia could be in danger if Evo Morales, an Indian leader 
who opposes Washington-backed efforts to eradicate drug crops, wins next 
month's runoff for president, the Bush administration's Latin America 
policy chief, Otto Reich, said. Mr. Reich's comments came after the 
American ambassador, Manuel Rocha, gave a similar warning before the 
election, which backfired and helped raise support for Mr. Morales.
