...threw a grenade toward a nearby espresso bar and hamburger counter, where General Donato Miranda Acosta, the military attaché at the Mexican embassy in Rome, was sipping coffee with his secretary, Genoveva Jaime Cisneros, who was there to see him and his family off on a vacation trip to Frankfurt. Miranda Acosta and Cisneros were probably the first to be killed. Then the attackers raked the 820-ft.-long terminal with bullets, hitting people waiting for an E1 A1 flight and others at nearby TWA and Pan Am counters. The men jumped up and down in a frenzy, screaming...
Ronald Reagan realized that a half-day summit with Mexican President Miguel de la Madrid last week could not begin to resolve differences between their two countries. So he used his four-hour stopover in Mexicali to drive home U.S. concern over Mexico's $96 billion foreign debt.

...ever had a very easy time. If we look back over history, we will see that it was only from the 1950s until the end of the 1970s that we enjoyed continuous expansion. The rest of our history has been difficult and has always required enormous efforts by the Mexican people. We have been able to surpass these problems and change Mexico into an important country on a world scale. If we have been able to achieve this when we faced even more serious problems than the ones we face now, I am certain that we will be able...
