We remember Luis Donaldo Colosio (1948-1994)

We remember Luis Donaldo Colosio who was born on this day in Mexico in 1948.    

In 1994, Sr. Colosio, the PRI candidate for president. was assassinated in North Mexico.     As the PRI candidate, he was the favorite to win the election.     He was replaced by Ernesto Zedillo who turned out to be a very centrist president.

As expected, there are still many questions about the assassination and whether or not the gunman acted alone.

It's hard to believe that it happened so many years ago.

"The woman in green"...Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson

A classic 1945 film.   Holmes is brought in to investigate the murder of young women in London.....each with a finger severed off............Scotland Yard suspects a madman, but Holmes believes the killings to be part of a diabolical plot........and he thought that Moriarity was hung in Montevideo.........great stuff!
