摘要

Until recently a good place to catch forty winks amid the din of Mexico City was in one of the country's somnolent legislative palaces. Cameras have often caught congressmen snoozing on the job, between games of Angry Birds on their taxpayer-funded iPads. But the past few months have seen Mexico's legislators jolted awake. Enrique Pena Nieto, who became president on December ist, has set a furious pace, pushing through reforms designed to correct some of his country's long-standing structural weaknesses.
