García's new image has so far had a mixed receptionNot even the moral fibre that comes from an extra ration of sausages in the morning has stopped President Twobreakfasts from buckling, it seems. Evidence of mental imbalance was evident yesterday as he announced that Peru would grow by 7% in 2009.
How this fits in with the slump in copper, zinc, lead and all their friends as well as the lower FOB prices Peru will get for all its other exports wasn't really explained very well.

And in Lima come to think of it.
