...Japan, though: the U.S. placed Tokyo on a "watch list" for its barriers to American wood and paper companies.MEXICO . . . IS THE ASSASSIN A MEMBER OF CONGRESS? The investigation into the Sept. 28 assassination of top Mexican politician Jose Francisco Ruiz Massieu, secretary general of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), has found a suspect: a Mexican congressman who allegedly paid for the shooting. Jorge Rodriguez Gonzalez, arrested over the weekend, says his boss, Congressman Manuel Munoz Rocha, hired him and his brother to plan the hit. The Attorney General's office -- where the dead man's brother is deputy -- charges...
...young man with an unknown motive shot and killed the secretary-general of Mexico's ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), shocking officials just recovering from the March 23 assassination of PRI presidential candidate Luis Donaldo Colosio.

President-elect Ernesto Zedillo may have more of a mandate than many expected. New vote counts showed he captured a 50.08 percent majority in what is believed to be a fairly clean election.

By this evening, ballot counters said PRI candidate Ernesto Zedillo had a comfortable lead over rival Diego Fernandez de Cevallos, of the conservative National Action Party. Cuauhtemoc Cardenas, of the leftist Democratic Revolution Party, trailed both. A hopeful sign: more than 70 percent of those registered voted, far above the expected 50 percent...
...cries of fraud, many Mexicans hope Sunday's presidential vote will live up to its promise to be the first truly contested election they have ever known. Nonetheless, TIME Mexico City Bureau Chief Laura Lopez reports, polls indicate most Mexicans will back Ernesto Zedillo, candidate of Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) that has ruled the country since 1929. One reason for Zedillo's 20-point lead: Lopez says rival National Action Party candidate Diego Fernandez de Cevallos, once the front-runner, miscalculated by taking a campaign break in June.
