WORLD IN BRIEF : DOMINICAN REPUBLIC : Bosch Changes His Mind on Retiring

Just a few days after announcing that he was quitting politics and his political party for good, former Dominican Republic President Juan Bosch changed his mind. In a televised speech, Bosch, 82, said at the request of supporters he was taking back his resignation from the center-left Dominican Liberation Party, which he founded in 1973 after splitting off from another party he had founded. At the time of his resignation, Bosch said he was dismayed at infighting within his party and took issue with what he called “petty bourgeois infiltrators.”
