For the crested, wrinkled amphibians lazing unmolested in the tropical sun, the billboards could mean only one thing:
There goes the neighborhood. A virtual biosphere sacrificed for another cheap show to siphon tourists' dollars.
Veracruz isn't the Mexico you are used to, and you'll thank us
for that. Let your adrenaline loose for less, and get a taste of the
real Mexico while you're at it.

A fair and complete review of the facts of this marine's case
will lead one to the obvious conclusion: he accidentally drove into
Mexico. He never intended to bring weapons unlawfully into Mexico.

In truth, it doesn't really matter for Brown which Republican he
wallops in November. He will win a record fourth term as California's
governor in a landslide, his third in four gubernatorial runs. What
difference does it make how much he wins by?
San Miguel is a more affordable place to live than is Santa Fe.
And for many years now, San Miguel has been one of the top destinations
on the "retire overseas circuit." We lived there ourselves for a few
years and we'd happily return to this enchanted place where life is slow

November between a pair of little-known yet sharply contrasting
Republicans continues to intrigue in an oddly low-key sort of way.
While even the main proponents of NAFTA will admit that it is a
flawed agreement, targeting it as the root of every problem that has
emerged in Mexico, the U.S. and Canada in the last 20 years is misguided
-- but reflects the need for more comprehensive economic and social
