MEXICO CITY - What Felipe Calderón lacks in charisma, he makes up for with determination. That may be what it takes to govern Mexico.

On Friday, the stiff, bespectacled career politician strode into the chaos of a congressional chamber filled with whistling and brawling lawmakers. Maintaining a focused, almost serene demeanor amid the catcalls and hostility, he held out a steady hand and took the oath to be Mexico's president.

In an appearance that lasted just four minutes, he stared down the opposition and sent a powerful message to a divided nation: This president won't back down.
