COMMENTS: Dateline Quintana Roo
Spring break comes face to face with Mexico's narcotics gang violence--it is an irresistible storyline. ABC's Jim Avila was unlucky to file it first, when the State Department sent out a travel warning, since he was stuck in New York City in February covering the diplomatic angle. NBC's Mark Potter was fortunate to wait until the break was under way and wangled a trip to the Yucatan last week. Now CBS' Seth Doane also lands the junket to Cancun's "sugary beaches." He duly contrasted scantily-clad nubile pleasures with "a grisly example of an unsavory undercurrent"--the torture and murder of a retired Mexican army general who was supposed to "overhaul the local police force after it was believed infiltrated by drug cartels."
