Banales' judgment, however, was in keeping with a 1999 Texas law--signed by then Governor George W. Bush--permitting judges to impose public punishment for some crimes. Drunk drivers in the state, for instance, are sometimes made to stand at busy intersections with signs identifying their transgression. Whether more conventional public notifications have worked as a deterrent is unclear. A Washington State study found that such policies didn't keep sex offenders from committing more crimes, though they did help police find and arrest recidivists more quickly...
Still, Patino's murder may have bolstered Mexican government resolve. Soon afterward, the Mexican army, acting on cia as well as DEA tips, arrested Ramon's buddy Higuera at one of his houses south of Tijuana as he partied drunk and naked with two Colombian women. And patience with the Arellanos may be wearing thin among the Colombian cartels, which are often led by cultured narco-dons who view their Mexican allies as sloppy and uncouth nacos, or hicks--a gang, U.S. agents say, that had to bury a DC-7 in the Baja desert six years ago because...

Buck is facing charges in London over an April 21 "air rage" incident in which he allegedly got drunk and assaulted crew members on a British Airways flight. (Buck issued an apology and faces a court date on June 18). Yet despite aborted breakups and possible breakdowns, R.E.M.--arguably the most influential rock band of the '80s and '90s--is poised for fresh success.
