It's interview day in today's Vangua; they've got a three-pager with Jordi Pujol. Who's Jordi Pujol? Jordi Pujol, around here, is sort of a cross between Mayor Daley and Yoda. He sure looks a lot like Yoda. But he's a tough political boss like Mayor Daley, and his Convergence and Union Catalan nationalist party has been, up to now, a well-oiled machine that has given Pujol six (or seven? I lose track) consecutive terms as Prime Minister of the Generalitat de Catalunya, the Catalan regional government. He will step down when this term runs out in nine months.
