He should have done better. His case is one of the most egregious Vichy State has had. The Federal government also appears to have complained that Raymond Seed and his team did not cooperate well enough in the Katrina cover-up and threatened to pull funding from Berkeley, but Berkeley was a better jouster. Axé.
For the rain there is nothing like huaynos. If I were to be in Mexico City this summer, which I now apparently am not, I would go Sunday mornings to the market in Santa María la Ribera.
