- WHICH DOCTOR?
-
- Although the kidnapping of Humberto Alvarez Machain, a
- Guadalajara gynecologist, severely strained U.S.-Mexican
- relations, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that he could be tried
- in Los Angeles. Now, though, he has been freed by District Judge
- Edward Rafeedie, who ruled that there was no direct evidence
- that Alvarez participated in the 1985 murder of Drug Enforcement
- Administration operative Enrique Camarena. Alvarez admitted
- being in the house where Camarena was tortured and killed, but
- a Mexican policeman reported to the American FBI that another
- physician had also been there. Mexican President Salinas hailed
- Alvarez's release as a "correction of an insult to law."
