Dear readers,
Following Tuesday's much-anticipated debate between the presidential candidates, and with polls showing that the race is practically tied, winning over undecided voters in swing states has become more urgent than ever. But the opportunities to capture new votes — or avoid losing them — are becoming few and far between.
In Peru, officials are wondering whether to organize a state funeral for Alberto Fujimori, who passed away on September 11. The deeply divisive former president continues to pose a headache for the government even in death.
This week we also analyzed the reasons behind China's renewed interest in trade relations with Africa, the new "financial nihilism" that seems to be affecting young people, and the background of Dominique Pélicot, the "great guy" who turned out to be a sexual predator, now on trial in France.
We also bring you interviews with the musician, writer and actor Nick Cave, and with Dior's "nose," the perfume expert Francis Kurkdjian.
We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from El País US Edition.
