	A Mexican Miscellany that Goes Beyond the News
		The Mexican news cycle, as you would expect, focuses on the developing stories considered the most prominent and pressing, and as of late it’s usually political news.

		The Mexican Navy, due to reductions imposed on the 2002 budget as originally submitted by President Vicente Fox Quesada and his team — revenue cuts prompted by the obstinate opposition in a recalcitrant congress, expects to run out of money to buy fuel for its ships by the middle of this month.
