MEXICO CITY — As President Felipe Calderon marched across the nation unveiling social programs and touting the military-led crackdown against drug lords, a round shadow followed him, darkening his sunny message.

It was the ubiquitous tortilla, rising rapidly in price and reminding Mexicans that all is not well with the once-humming economy.

At public events, angry women intercepted the new president, who faced his first mini-crisis since taking office Dec. 1. Hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets in the Mexican capital last Wednesday, demanding an emergency wage hike to counter surging prices for sugar, onions and tortillas.

Note: Each week, The Courier spotlights new books and other materials newly arrived, or soon-to-arrive, in the James Logan Media Center.
