CONTAINING LINKS TO 1280 STORIES FROM THE NETWORKS' NIGHTLY NEWSCASTS
     COMMENTS: Burlap on Mesquite

A theme of NBC's Texan trip has been the impact of Mexican neighbors on life in the southwest. Tuesday Don Teague told us about the Trans-Texas Corridor to transport imports to the heartland; yesterday he described how Juarez and El Paso are joined, rather than separated, by the border. Now Peter Alexander travels to the Arizona desert to introduce us to Ryan Nez, a Navajo scout. Nez works for Customs Enforcement intercepting marijuana smuggling routes from Mexico. He showed Alexander how to follow fresh horse prints, trace broken branches and find strands of burlap snagged in the mesquite. His elite unit of trackers is "nicknamed the Shadow Wolves."
