                                      LINK CHANGE / LAHT

     Perhaps borrowing a page from Russian PM Putin's successful macho image building campaign...President Felipe Calderon will soon be seen ziplining thru the selva, paddling a river and climbing a pyramid...to promote Mexican image and tourism...and boost his sagging popularity.

     Starting in September...a series of 30 minute shows featuring Calderon...as the fearless tour guide...will air in the USA on public TV's new Spanish channel.
