MEXICO CITY (AP) — Pope Francis heads into the heart of Mexico's drug-trafficking country Tuesday for meetings with young people, whom he is holding up as the hope for a better future for a country wracked by the violence and gang warfare of the drug trade.
Francis' visit to Morelia, the capital of Michoacan state, a hotbed of narcotics production and smuggling, will also give him a chance to send a message about his vision for the future of the Mexican church.
We should all be so lucky to live the life that Antonin Scalia did.
When Justice Scalia passed away in his sleep this weekend, he left behind a loving wife, nine children, and 28 grandchildren. He left behind numerous friends: with a ready wit and a garrulous laugh, he was well liked by his colleagues on the Supreme Court and countless others besides, liberal and conservative alike. Judges as a group tend to be cerebral and introverted, but few in any profession could work a room quite like he did.
