	A TV reporter indulges his artsy side - The Boston Globe
		Jorge Quiroga has been a reporter for WCVB-TV in Boston since 1977, the same year he and his wife bought the turn-of-the-last-century house they've lived in ever since, and also the year when they made their first art purchase, Drosten's ''The Twins."
		Quiroga and his wife, an art and fashion publicist known as ''BQ," are modest when talking about their house in a western suburb and rapturous when discussing their art, much of which has Latino connections.
		When the Quirogas' two sons -- now grown and on their own -- were still at home, this room with squishy sofas and electronic entertainment systems was their headquarters.

	Narco News Fact-Checks Marcela Sanchez of the Washington Post
		Quiroga is spending at least five days in Washington, chasing the press like lawyers chase ambulances, but only one reporter so far took the bait: Marcela Sanchez, author of the "From Washington" column about Latin America published on the washingtonpost.com website.
		Quiroga is at the end of his five-year term, and legal term limits prevent him from seeking the presidency again in 2002.
		We don't disbelieve that Quiroga has fans among his masters, but, for the reading public, the names and faces of his bosses, so happy with his delivery of his nation's sovereignty to a foreign power, should be brought to light.

	Nuevas reglas
		La segunda etapa de gobernabilidad, según Quiroga, surgió cuando los titulares de los principales partidos políticos acordaron formar alianzas parlamentarias que permitieran aprobar leyes y llevar a cabo algunos programas mínimos que beneficiaran a la gente.
		En realidad, subraya Quiroga, era virtualmente imposible que un legislador de oposición presidiera una comisión parlamentaria importante o desempeñase un papel relevante dentro de la coalición de gobierno.
		Quiroga dice que es prematuro pronunciarse en ese sentido, pero cree que la cuestión será decidida en última instancia más en el ámbito de los gobiernos municipales que al nivel nacional.

		La carrera política de Quiroga, que hasta entonces había carecido de un mandato popular, experimentó un salto cuando en 1997 Banzer le escogió para secundarle como candidato a vicepresidente en las elecciones del 1 de junio, además de volver a dirigir la campaña adenista.
		Quiroga nunca ocultó su aspiración presidencial en 2007, ya que la Constitución boliviana impide al presidente y al vicepresidente la reelección para un segundo mandato consecutivo.
		Quiroga se distanció un tanto del proceso electoral en ciernes y sus movimientos internos en el partido se dirigieron más bien a apuntalar su control sobre el mismo hasta la hipotética postulación presidencial en 2007 y a una modernización ideológica en la nueva época que se abría.

	Jorge Quiroga, a technocrat after Bolivia's top office
		Former heir-apparent to president General Hugo Banzer, Quiroga, 45, is seen by voters as the opposite of Morales, an Aymara Indian and peasant leader who had been advocating the nationalization of Bolivia's oil and gas resources.
		The child prodigee of Bolivia's political class, Quiroga took part in three presidential campaigns and quickly carved a place for himself among the country's old "caudillos" (leaders) who clung tenaciously to power.
		Quiroga supporters claim a Morales presidency would scare off private investors and lead to the loss of tens of thousands of jobs.

		Quiroga served as President of Bolivia for a year (2001-2002), moved back to the US with his family, and has returned to wage a campaign for President.
		The fact that Quiroga willingly served as number two to the man who was Bolivia’s version of Augusto Pinochet in the 1970s should send a shiver up the spine of these who really believe in democracy.
		Quiroga, however, is spinning an image and a tale that looks very different than what he actually did when he had power.
