Only last year, bankers considered Mexico a model debtor because it had managed, through an austerity program that restricted spending at home, nearly to catch up on its foreign bills. But the plan was beginning to break down even before two crushing blows that have pushed the country close to default: last September's Mexico City earthquake, which saddled the country with $4.5 billion in damages, and a 50% drop in petroleum prices...
