...World-renowned primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall is impressed by the legislation but sees it as only a first step. "What do you do with all those animals?" she asked TIME on a visit to La Paz earlier this month. "That is the nightmare." (See the top 10 animal stories...

It stood for little more than the cynical acquisition of power and its spoils - the manifestation of Octavio Paz's premise that Mexico is a country sadly divided between chingones (the screwers) and chingados (the screwed). The conservative PAN and liberal PRD at least have identifiable platforms.
