...just as much a relevant factor for violence in Mexico (and Colombia) as U.S. consumption. The situation in Mexico is a pattern echoed on all corners of the map: Temazepam (the British’s number-one prescription fix) migrates from Eastern Europe to the United Kingdom, opium from Southeast Asia to India and China, and heroin flows from Afghanistan to everywhere...
...response to growing demand from members of Exit International, the organization he runs that distributes information on end-of-life methods.

But several caskets stood out for another reason: always with the smaller white one perched atop the larger, they held a parent and young child set to be buried together. From Turin in the northwest to Taranto in the southeast, the entire length of Italy's boot-shaped peninsula spent Friday absorbing the broadcast images of the state funeral for the victims of the L'Aquila earthquake: a toy motorcycle placed on top of one such mini-casket; a purple jumper attached to another; surviving relatives collapsing in tears; others...
