In June the pajama clad president of Honduras was exiled in an early morning military coup. Yesterday, using a little Hollywood symbolism, Manuel Zelaya slipped back across the border into Honduras wearing a white hat. He took refuge at the Brazilian Embassy and hopes to refocus attention of world leaders meeting this week in New York.

Yesterday marked the first military coup in Central America since the end of the Cold War. The president of Honduras had been attempting to lift presidential term limits and expand the powers of the president. The Honduran Army stormed the presidential palace, arrested the president and placed the pajama clad Zalaya on a plane to Costa Rica.
