| Back in the early '90s kidnapping had already become a problem in Mexico City.A blond girlfriend of mine (granted, chemical rather than natural, but even so) was forbidden by her sister to venture down to the bottom of the driveway with her young child to buy an ice cream, lest the child be taken for ransom. It was a difficult visit after having been so long accustomed to the safe life of a German village. But that wasn't anything like what's going on in Juarez now, which sounds considerably worse than Prohibition-era Chicago. |
