| | 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. |
