Mexico City earthquake I'll add other articles in the near future. UPI did not have a consistent way of getting clips to its reporters. Other UPI reporters and editors would mail them to their colleagues. I myself couldn't do much, living in a Spanish speaking country. We did have the Mexico City News that carried UPI copy, which was a professional daily. the Bulletin was more of an advertising give-away that subscribed to UPI to offer some news admist its advertisemetns for restaurants, nightclubs and money exchange houses. This scrap is about all that remains in my hands from one of my most traumatic events during my time in Mexico, the two quakes that hit in September of 1985, knocking down thousands of buildings and killing between 8,000 and 24,000 people I was in the thick of it for two months staight. It will figure prominnently in the memoirs I've begun on my eight years in Mexico and Central America.
