SPOTLIGHT
NO CONTEST For Peru's President Alberto Fujimori, securing reelection was easy--the Napoleonic leader's only opponent boycotted the May 28 vote, citing suspected electoral fraud. The hard part will be ending the continuing nationwide protests and bridging the country's deep political divide. Illustration for TIME by Roberto Parada.
