Along with the basic treaty providing for the first exchange of envoys between the two countries since 1876, rode four subsidiary agreements aimed at reducing ancient economic and ethnic frictions.

...museum has been laid out so that its 125,000 visitors a month can enjoy the nation's treasures and relate them to a past that in Mexico never seems remote. Every artifact on display has been mounted so that it remains a meaningful, individual object. Ancient Indian tribal music wafts softly through the 25 major galleries, each of which is a self-sufficient showcase of a different culture. Some 60 young women, scholars and linguists all, show visitors around. Views from the galleries lead the eye to the surrounding 2,223-acre Chapultepec park, where replicas of temples...
