Argentina names new leader in time of crisis
Congress overwhelmingly confirmed Eduardo Duhalde as Argentina's president after the resignation of Adolfo Rodriguez Saa. The vote was 262 to 21 with 18 abstentions as protests and street clashes marked a tense transfer of power amid a four year recession. Duhalde, 60, a former Buenos Aires province governor, inherits an unstable economy and ongoing political turmoil. Police fortified Congress and key city centers to prevent renewed violence as Argentines voiced anger toward leaders.
