...Mexico approach for the next 20 years, not 20 days." Mexico is making some progress. Juárez saw violence spike last year when at least three cartels started a pitched battle for its valuable trafficking turf. (Most of the drugs from Mexico enter the U.S. through Juárez.) Spin-off crimes like kidnapping and extortion mushroomed as well. But the city has been safer since Reyes agreed in March to let 5,000 army troops and 2,000 federal cops take over police duties for the time being.

Efron will have to radiate a little more danger if he doesn't want to be the cute young married guy on a CBS sitcom before...
When international newspapers picked up the comments the Elysée went into spin mode, denying the most offensive quips, particularly those about Obama. But parliamentarians party to Wednesday's dissing included members from France's opposition Socialist Party, who had no qualms about confirming Sarkozy's comments - and at times add detail to them...
