TIME: There seems to be a sense in the streets that until the three murders [of presidential candidate Luis Donaldo Colosio, Juan Jesus Cardinal Posadas and P.R.I. secretary-general Josa Francisco Ruiz Massieu] are solved, it will be difficult for you to govern. Zedillo: According to the information provided to me by the Attorney General, the Ruiz Massieu case is practically solved, and the Posadas case seems to be nearly solved. In the Colosio case, we have made progress to the extent that we now believe there was a second shooter. But we haven't been able to find anything...

The secret guidelines specify the circumstances under which the FBI is allowed to penetrate groups thought to be agents of a foreign power. The public rules, which govern intelligence gathering aimed at domestic groups, are more restrictive. Yet the FBI can actively gather intelligence even on a group with political or religious sponsorship provided the bureau has credible reasons to believe the group may engage in violence. The threat of violence need not be imminent; it need only...
...course has its own risks. Chinese officials remember all too well that corruption was a major issue among the 1989 pro-democracy demonstrators in Tiananmen Square. If a similar public revulsion is building up again, then failing to pursue an anticorruption drive could make the country more difficult to govern, for Jiang or anyone else.

One theory about the low-key treatment of Chen Yun's death is that it may be a trial run for the day Deng dies...
