Tony,
An angle that I found interesting about the Mexican story is the fact
that Mexico has energy shortages. znd that
Bush, of course, wants to help them deregulate, sell them more overpriced
services from the deregulated Tex group, AES, Dynergy,etc. That would be as
a trade off for more slave labor from dsouth of the borderr. Would you
have any info on this?
Or information on Fox's business interests?
