Tuesday Roundup

1. A good political brief on Mexico who elects a new President in July. Is there a Mexican Chavez in the wings?

2. A second loss for Merck on Vioxx. Good news is that it doesn't seem to have affected the stock. An ugly war of attrition as Merck litigates each case. Having used it and have elderly parents who swear by it and can't get anymore - this is a damned shame.

3. NRO on the Italian elections - the evil of the two lessers? Only instability seems to lie in the future. And despite Berlusconi's foibles and alleged corruption of his associates I am thinking he is the better Atlanticist...
