Frei (L) while outgoing president Ricardo Lagos (R) applauds in
Valparaiso, Chile, March 11, 2006. Bachelet, who became Chile's first
woman president, was taken political prisoner by the military regime in
the 1970s and captivated Chileans in a role that symbolized reconciliation
at long last between the country's deeply polarized right and left.
