Kevin Sullivan and Mary Jordan of the Washington Post have a lengthy front page article on President Fox's administration.
After five years, many people are disappointed that Fox did not bring sweeping change to Mexico. Most of his reforms were blocked by the PRI in the Congress. However, if you wanted one sweeping pro-democratic change, it was that a Mexican president actually allowed a Congress to block his initiatives. It's not pretty, but it's democracy. If Fox's legacy is a weakened presidency and strengthened minority rights for the party in opposition, that's not so bad.
