...neighborhood in which Joseph Gallardo's house burnt down isn't posh; despite abutting Seattle's Volvo-saturated suburbs, Snohomish County runs more to pickup trucks. But it is still a community, with lots of children and loving, anxious parents -- which is presumably why someone lit the match...
...Gallardo is not home today; the arson was committed to prevent his return after an enforced 33-month absence. Still, the cars cruise by and people shout out. "Freak!" yells one girl. "Finish the job," adds a man -- meaning, burn Gallardo. Voreen Siders and some friends stand 50 yards from the house's embers. They are emphatic: they would never set the blaze.

"If President Salinas won by just 50% last July," says a Mexican official and former Salinas critic, "his attacks on corruption have to have pushed his approval rating to something like...
...Salinas crackdown was greeted with cautious optimism by agents of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Felix Gallardo, the richest and most cunning member of the infamous "Guadalajara cartel," is blamed for exporting at least two tons of cocaine to the U.S. each month. He is a prime suspect in the 1985 abduction and murder of DEA agent Enrique Camarena. Many DEA agents wondered why it took so long to capture Felix Gallardo, since he had been living openly in Guadalajara. Some suspected that his arrest had been timed to coincide with last week's "law-enforcement summit" between U.S. Attorney...
