Michael Werbowski suggests an “unclear motive” to José Manuel Nava’s murder. I thought it was tragic, but obvious. I was aware of the controversy surrounding Nava’s recent publication of a book on the political chincanery surrounding Excelsior’s downfall, but Werbowski believes the two are connected.
He never makes this explicit, but uses the event as a springboard for his own short history of the rise and fall of one of the once-great Mexican daily.
