In Nuevo Laredo: A Calmer Phase of Drug War Emerges

It seems ironic to me that some of the best international stories are published in the NYTimes on Saturdays... the lowest readership day.

Maybe the editors consider these reports...as filler.

I consider them...essential!

Here's an excellent update by Marc Lacey on a new relative calmness... in Nuevo Laredo...once THE hotbed Mexican city...for drug violence and outlaw activity.
