When Chavez “gets long-winded,” wrote Fox, describing the 2004 Summit of the Americas held in Mexico, “it’s time for the other presidents to go for a bottle of water and some cookies, and try to do some real business in the hallways.”

Fox also had an all-night dinner with Fidel Castro, “the region’s most infamous revolutionary,” a man who had a “strange habit of pulling his ears between every bite of food.”

The AFP reports that Fox refers to Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez as “the new Fidel” in his book, and laments his popularity in Ecuador and Bolivia.
