For months, proud Mexicans have been lining up on Sunday afternoons by the thousands to gawk at the project and its artfully decorated stations, including one built around an Aztec pyramid unearthed during the excavations. They have dubbed...
...protect themselves or their people from what was widely assumed to be God's vengeance. By lowering the value of land -because there were few workers left to till it-and raising the price of labor, the death toll also helped bring to an end the old system of feudal villenage...
