Tracking the Dead

Week's results: The Mexican government's saying 102 people were reported dead in the flashpoints of violence, especially Culiacán, Ciudád Juárez. The number ain't much; there's what, 100 million-odd people in Mexico? That'd be the equivalent of four people dead a day in Iraq (30 million). Not that a big a deal, except, I'm now starting to think in terms of nations at war when I write about Mexico.
