President-elect Andres Pastrana (C) enters the Plaza de Bolivar with his wife Nora Puyana (R) and his son Santiago moments before officially being sworn in as Colombia's new president, August 7. [Pastrana takes over the presidency of a nation in political and economic crisis, bludgeoned by a three-decade-old guerrilla war and laid low by a yawning fiscal deficit, rising poverty and unemployment at a 20-year high. More than 3,200 special guests, including Spanish crown prince Felipe, will witness Pastrana's inauguration. ]
