...throne; in the capital, Maseru. More than 10,000 subjects watched as Moshoeshoe's son King Letsie III, who had been installed after Moshoeshoe's dethronement, formally abdicated and handed back the crown to his father. DISMISSED. FAUSTO ALZATI, 41, Mexico's Minister of Education; by President Ernesto Zedillo; after the press discovered that the Harvard University doctorate and National Autonomous University of Mexico law degree Alzati claimed to hold did not exist; in Mexico City. Although Alzati studied at both schools, he never wrote a dissertation or thesis and thus did not earn degrees. ASSASSINATED. GREGORIO ORDONEZ, 36, deputy...
...from seeing his popular support rise because of the Clinton rescue, Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo is now facing widespread mistrust over his bargain with the U.S.,TIME Mexico City bureau chief Laura Lopezreports. "Everyone is asking what he gave away in exchange for it," Lopez says. "He's claimed that he has not compromised sovereignty over the issue, but there's still a level of suspicion in the general population that Uncle Sam wouldn't have done it if there wasn't more in it for him." Worse for Zedillo, whose image of weakness began with the Dec. 20 decision...

In one of the Zapatistas' jungle strongholds, the settlement of Guadalupe Tepeyac, Tacho praised Zedillo for the sincerity of his efforts. ``The most important factor,'' said the rebel, ``was that he sent his Interior Minister as his direct representative. That shows he's taking the problem seriously.'' The Zapatistas are relatively confident that their prime demand will be met: the removal from office of Eduardo Robledo, the p.r.i. governor whose August election--in the same balloting that elected Zedillo--was deemed fradulent...
...overblown: the Zapatistas are thought to have a few hundred fighters at most, and few officials in Mexico City take such threats seriously. But neither, as they struggle to cope with the wreckage of Mexico's economy, can they dismiss the Chiapas rebels as irrelevant. The best the Zedillo government can hope for is to reduce the rebels' support through continued political and economic concessions. Given the region's poverty, that could take considerable time--and funds. ``I can't deny that more roads and schools are an advance,'' says Pablo Romo, an aide to Roman Catholic Bishop Samuel Ruiz...
