Facing Aggressive Prosecution, Will El Chapo Risk Trial? (Can He Afford Not To?)
Lawyers say there’s no downside to Joaquín Guzmán Loera’s fighting the government’s drug-trafficking charges, but how he might do that is a more complex matter.The defense lawyers will do what they can.
"“The government has made it clear that they’re going full bore with this,” said David O. Markus, who negotiated the 2006 guilty pleas for Gilberto and Miguel Rodríguez Orejuela, Colombian brothers who helped found the Cali cartel. “For El Chapo, if there’s no offer on the table and it’s life if you go to trial and life or near it if you plead guilty, it’s pretty easy — he’ll go to trial.”"
El Chapo will be found guilty and go to prison.
If he escapes again he will not survive recapture.

In Beijing, and Washington, a Breath of Foul Air
The Republican crusade against 50 years of environmental regulation is an attack on public health and prosperity."Air pollution kills an estimated 4,400 people every day in China — and, even with our existing regulations, 548 people a day in the United States, according to a 2013 M.I.T. study."
4,400 X 365 = 1,606,000 deaths per year in China from air pollution.

The MIT study looks to be of the U.S.
The number for China has no source. I think it is low.

They do not know the conflicts and tensions of individuals.
Evey killing is of an individual.
Every killing is a surprise to those on the outside.
Reporters and police are always on the outside.
