 Mexico's president-elect takes charge of presidential residence - USATODAY.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
In a live broadcast from the presidential residence of Los Pinos — where outgoing President Vicente Fox handed over his presidential sash as his term ended at midnight — Calderon called on Mexicans to leave behind the divisions that have dogged him and the country since the disputed July 2 elections.
Absent from the closed-door midnight ceremony were the angry protesters who have pledged to block the inauguration, but former leftist presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador — who claims Calderon used fraud to win the July 2 elections — had already called on supporters to meet early Friday in Mexico City's main square.
Fox had previously said he would go to Congress with Calderon to hand over the presidential sash, but the PRD had objected to his presence — they accuse him of throwing the elections to Calderon — and now there appears to be little reason for Fox to attend.

 Mexico's New Presidents Bows Era of Reform in Next Century   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
To the applause of world leaders, Ernesto Zedillo Ponce de Leon assumed the green, white and red sash of the Mexican presidency Thursday and, in his first presidential address, declared a crusade against the violence, poverty, corruption and injustice that litter Mexico's path to the next century.
And he vowed to radically restructure a judicial system that has made corruption synonymous with the police and the courts in a nation he cast as being on the brink of historic change.
Fueling the widespread sense of national insecurity, Zedillo said, are the yet-unsolved Sept. 28 killing in Mexico City of the ruling party's secretary-general, Francisco Ruiz Massieu, and the murder in Tijuana last March of Luis Donaldo Colosio, Zedillo's predecessor as the party's hand-picked presidential candidate.
