...whitethroat is hardly alone in clocking a killer flight schedule. Among other birds of its type - like the Subalpine warbler, the Orphean warbler and the Barred warbler - annual migrations exceed 1,500 miles, sometimes over the Sahara. It might seem that another 200 miles tacked onto a several-thousand-mile journey wouldn't be too taxing. But for the estimated 500 million birds that migrate annually from Europe and Asia to Africa, surviving the journey is already difficult enough.

When U.S. President Obama stops off in Mexico on Thursday on his way to the annual Summit of the Americas, he will be visiting a nation that is in the news - and not in a good way. The war that Mexican President Felipe Calderón has waged against his nation's drug cartels has predictably been marked by horrible violence. Washington analysts, watching the mayhem in some Mexican towns as cartels settle old scores, fight turf wars and take the fight to overmanned (and all too often, deeply compromised) police forces, have compared Mexico to failed or failing states...
