U S loan to Mexico seen as policy success
The Oregonian notes Clinton arranged a 13.5 billion loan to Mexico to backstop peso stability after Congress failed to pass a 40 billion loan guarantee. Critics warned against the aid, but Mexico repaid 3.5 billion early, aiding trade, with NAFTA and surplus tensions continuing. The Monitor adds similar praise.

Rush to judgment taints Ramseys over JonBenet pageants
The coverage of JonBenet Ramsey's murder has linked beauty pageants to the family's fate with harsh, often unverified claims. Critics say media and columnists rush to blame the Ramseys while noting JonBenet's life included pageants but not that her death was caused by them. The piece urges sympathy for the Ramseys and questions the public's fascination with sensational stories.
