MEXICO CITY – After nearly a year as president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador needs a change in narrative.
His first 12 months in office will have been the most violent in Mexico’s history, with neighbors in the U.S. inundated by reports on CNN, Fox News, The New York Times and elsewhere over ongoing brutality along the southern border. Senator Lindsey Graham claims that some parts of Mexico are more dangerous than Syria, and the Wall Street Journal recently ran an editorial suggesting a military intervention to subdue Mexico’s drug cartels.
Needless to say, that’s not the international image that López Obrador was hoping to project when he entered office promising a less violent, more compassionate approach to public security.

In Laredo, Texas, a bicultural President's Day
Linda Leyendecker Gutierrez lives and works a few blocks from the Rio Grande and traces her lineage in two branches — from one of this Spanish colonial city's oldest families and to Revolutionary War orator Patrick Henry.
And she says she has a God-given gift for designing the elaborate hand-beaded gowns for the annual Society of Martha Washington colonial ball, which combines red, white and blue patriotism with Latin American flair.
It could be America's biggest President's Day celebration.
A city that is 94 percent Latino and can sound, feel, and smell more Mexican than American presents its aristocracy during an annual tribute to a president whose birthday elsewhere is more associated with department store sales.
The celebration lasts a full month and draws all strata of society. Events include a chili pepper festival, a grand parade and the debutante ball where the young ladies of Laredo — and Gutierrez's dresses, some of
