Bursting through the door, Hetzler met Malott with a spray of darts. But in what Keller Rinaudo '09, a member of the winning team, described as a "Pulp Fiction moment" all the bullets missed Malott, leaving the two combatants...

But it could still claim political victims - and this time Mexico's nascent democracy could stand to get a kick in the head instead of a shot in the arm. Even before the flu emergency hit Mexico last week, the PRI was enjoying leads of as many as 10 points in polls asking voters which party they preferred in upcoming national midterm elections on July 5.
