Silver or Lead?


I found a copy of "Silver or Lead" and thought I'd share. It's a highly praised article about the La Familia cartel that appeared in the May issue of The New Yorker magazine.

It's a pdf file and a little blurry. I'm found it easier to read by saving it to disk and opening it with Acrobat.

If it's silver, it probably came from Mexico. If it's lead, it was probably made in China.:P

I found the article interesting in describing how the cartel has integrated into a local region.

Very in-depth description of the cartel; its 14 pages.
