...skiers and snowboarder who ducked the rope at British Columbia's Grouse Mountain resort earlier this year freely admitted what they did was wrong. Despite high avalanche warnings throughout the region, the four young men passed a boundary into closed terrain - even after an explicit warning from a ski patroller not to go out of bounds. Because of the hazardous conditions, ski patrol was unable to follow the entourage into the closed area and instead rescuers had to use a helicopter to guide them to safety. When the group reached the bottom, they were stripped of their passes, banned...
...changing a police culture can take years, and Calderón can't keep soldiers on Mexico's streets forever. Time rode with a nighttime patrol of federal military and an antigang unit called Lobos (Wolves) through some of Juárez's more dangerous barrios. Residents hailed the convoy as it sped through the canyon-like streets, but some had misgivings about the exercise.

Government interference has been successful in the past—in an effort to crack down on drug trafficking, U.S. federal officials recently caught over 750 suspects involved in Mexican drug cartels that had spread to the United States. Here, too, the government should get involved. America needs to guarantee for its own citizens the kind of national...
...drug armies. Victor Clark Alfaro, director of the Binational Center for Human Rights, said the Administration's efforts to stop U.S.-sold guns from getting to Mexico are futile, unless the weapons are banned in shops - a move U.S. officials have shied away from. "If the entire border-patrol service cannot stop tons of drugs and millions of migrants heading north, how will a few hundred U.S. agents stop all the guns coming south?" he asks...
