MAY 31, 2001 Alejandro Toledo's rise to fame in politics and international affairs is largely attributed to leaving his country of Peru and attending college in America. Toledo arrived in the Bay Area of California in 1965. Ten years later, he left with two degrees from Stanford University and went on to become a world-class economist. Now running for President, Toledo is leading in the polls against former leader Alan Garcia. If elected, Toledo would be the nation's first Indian leader in modern times. Get the Story:
