...bright side, the size of the latest blowout implies a major new find by Pemex. Director General Jorge Diaz Serrano estimates that the immediate area contains as much as 800 million bbl. of top-quality lightweight crude and "will considerably increase Mexico's oil reserves." Before this strike, the country's proven reserves of oil and gas stood at the equivalent of 40 billion bbl., well above those of both Venezuela and Nigeria but still far below Saudi Arabia's 160 billion bbl. Though Mexico is not a member of OPEC, it took a page from...
Schlesinger's running war with the Mexicans started in December, 1977 when Foreign Minister Santiago Roel and Petroleum Chief Diaz Serrano came to Washington to seek approval of an already negotiated deal between their government and U.S. pipeline companies for Mexican natural gas.

Odds that a transplanted cadaveric kidney will "take" are usually no better than 50%, yet only twelve hours after surgery, Serrano's new organ had already produced some five liters (5¼ quarts) of urine and seemed to be functioning well. By week's end Serrano was joking that despite his Muscovite kidney, "I don't speak Russian yet." His doctors were equally elated. Rubin, for one, envisioned a day when organs are regularly shuttled across the seas to fulfill needs wherever they exist. Said he: "What better way to bring the world together than through medicine...
