Back to Juárez

Calderón's headed back to the embattled border city next week, to measure progress and such. Good for him for staying on it. This observation means very little to the broader climate in Juárez (i.e. things can still get a lot worse even if I'm right), and may only reflect a mistaken perception (perhaps things are still really bad but there has been less reporting recently), but for what it's worth, I don't think there has been as much news of Juárez massacres in the past two or three weeks.
