<p><strong>CULIACAN, Sinaloa, Mex. </strong>— It isn’t the best of times. It is so far the worst of times. Instead of wisdom, there is violence. The age of foolishness has been replaced by official stubbornness; belief has gone all the way south to incredulity. Instead of light, there is death and darkness.</p>
