...slightly-belated) Voyager and on down into the black night of Enterprise, a well-intentioned but not very noble re-reboot that featured a theme song by Diane Warren (borrowed from - wait for it - Patch Adams) in place of the traditional, lush instrumental opener and, in the holy captain's chair, Scott Bakula (borrowed from - wait for it - Quantum Leap). Not even Jolene Blalock with Vulcan ears could save it. Enterprise became the first Star Trek to be canceled for low ratings.

And the rot goes even higher: in 2008, Calderón's former federal antidrug czar was arrested and charged with allegedly taking $450,000 to feed intelligence to the Sinaloa Cartel. (He denies...
...outside powers - whose own trade was being affected in the seizures - would intervene in the strait if the local governments didn't solve the problem themselves. A new spirit of cooperation took hold along the strait. "All of us shared the same goal and objective," says Zahari Jamian, a captain in the Royal Malaysian Navy, "to paint the picture to the world that the strait is not really a war-risk zone...
