“After months of public tirades, secret maneuvering and legal appeals, the effort to impeach President Dilma Rousseff of Brazil is heading toward an outcome on Wednesday, when the nation’s Senate begins voting on whether to suspend her and put her on trial,” the New York Times reports.
“The vote is a watershed in the power struggle that has consumed Brazil, a country that experienced a rare stretch of stability over the last two decades as it strengthened its economy and achieved greater prominence on the world stage.”
