[Gordon Brown] told reporters he never considered resigning, instead announcing a cabinet reshuffle he hopes will help restore his fortunes. Brown has been badly stung by a scandal over British legislators' expenses, a string of top-level resignations and catastrophic results expected in local elections. Work and Pensions Secretary James Purnell, a fast-rising star in Brown's government, dramatically quit late Thursday and urged Brown to step aside.

CHILDREN and honeymoons don't mix, as Chile's new president, Michelle Bachelet, found to her cost when children at the country's secondary schools came out on strike last month. Their demand for better education not only interrupted her supposed idyll with the electorate, but also exposed apparent inconsistencies in the promises with which she had wooed the country. The students also questioned the government's insistence on tight spending. With state coffers brimming with record income from copper, Chile's main export, why, they asked, didn't the government put its money where its mouth was and invest in their future?
