President Cristina Fernandez is facing crisis in Argentina as crime spikes and the economy continues to decline. The term-limited president, already a lame duck, is set to leave office in December. But her political allies must win the Oct. 25 general election to shield her from likely prosecution over a myriad of corruption allegations. (Associated Press)

Argentina’s opponents filed their last arguments Wednesday, May 7, 2014, with the U.S. Supreme Court, urging justices to deny the South American government’s appeal of a $1.4 billion debt ruling because Fernandez has repeatedly vowed not to honor any decision that goes against her.
