A team of forensic experts clad in white overalls excavate three shallow graves. The sand gives up nine bodies -- seven men and two women. At least one of the victims' hands were cuffed behind their back. Others had been trussed up with duct tape. The stale stench reveals that the corpses had been dumped there several days earlier and were decomposing fast.", "The stale stench reveals that the corpses had been dumped there several days earlier and were decomposing fast. That grisly find in mid-March came a week after thousands more soldiers had been deployed to Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas. The arrival of the soldiers and more federal police agents had coincided with a short lull in the killings. Snapping photos of the scene from behind the police line was Lucio Soria, photographer for Juarez's main newspaper, El Diario de Juarez, and its sister paper, PM.", "Snapping photos of the scene from behind the police line was Lucio Soria, photographer for Juarez's main newspaper, El Diario de Juarez, and its sister paper, PM. PM is a perfect example of Mexico's so-called \"red press,\" newspapers that specialize in covering violence. Soria seems like a perfect ambassador. \"I've gone for a week and a half without taking pictures of dead people. I was thinking 'Hell, what am I going to do?'", "I was thinking 'Hell, what am I going to do?' At this rate I'll end up taking pictures for the social pages,\" he said. Soria realizes snapping pictures of blood and gore may seem heartless. But he stays cheerful, cracking dark jokes with colleagues, all while listening to police communications on a radio scanner and searching for clues about where to find the next drug war victim. \"It might seem ugly, but that's our job,\" Soria said.", "\"It might seem ugly, but that's our job,\" Soria said. He and fellow photographers have been busy in recent months. Last year, Juarez became the poster city for Mexico's narco-violence, with more than 1,600 gang killings. Watch musicians play \"narco-ballads\" honoring hitmen » This year, Mayor Jose Reyes is trying to turn a page on the killings and make Juarez a showcase for solutions. Military and federal police convoys patrol the streets around the clock.", "Military and federal police convoys patrol the streets around the clock. Cops armed with AR-15 assault rifles, identities obscured by ski masks, hang off pickup trucks that speed around in twos and threes. Watch cops round up gang suspects » Soldiers strike a warlike pose behind heavy machine guns mounted on American-made Humvees. Whether it's working depends on whom you ask and how hard you read between the lines.", "Whether it's working depends on whom you ask and how hard you read between the lines. \"I think this is very effective because it closes transport routes for the movement of [cartel] personnel and weapons,\" said a state officer, assigned to guide us, at a federal police checkpoint. The officer, known only by his call sign Trojan One, seemed confident. The agent in command of the checkpoint was less convinced. \"Of course organized crime is trying to avoid us.", "\"Of course organized crime is trying to avoid us. I'm not sure what methods they use to operate. We don't know how they work,\" said the officer, identifying himself only as Aztec One. On another day we ran into a three-truck federal police operation staking out a house in a middle-class Juarez neighborhood. See photos of police, gang life in Mexico » The commander said his men believed they had made what he termed a \"major\" cocaine bust.", "See photos of police, gang life in Mexico » The commander said his men believed they had made what he termed a \"major\" cocaine bust. When I met him they had already been waiting almost 24 hours for a judge to issue a search warrant. When they gained access they discovered some 500 half-gram bags of cocaine. In Juarez those bags sell for around $8.", "In Juarez those bags sell for around $8. Now do the math, 500 half-gram bags at possibly 60 percent purity means around 150 grams of pure cocaine -- hardly a major strike in the drug war." ]

[ "London, England (CNN) -- A British auction house plans to sell off newly discovered sketches done by Adolf Hitler when he was a struggling student trying desperately to get into art school. The 12 charcoal and crayon sketches cover \"typical student subjects\" and don't display a great deal of promise, Mullock's Auctioneers said. They include two drawings of an elderly woman thought to be Hitler's mother, as well as studies of objects, landscapes, models, and even a Roman senator.", "They include two drawings of an elderly woman thought to be Hitler's mother, as well as studies of objects, landscapes, models, and even a Roman senator. All are signed and some even have Hitler's Vienna address, Mullock's said. The sale also includes the original portfolio in which Hitler kept the sketches, which is signed and has his address, Mullock's said.", "The sale also includes the original portfolio in which Hitler kept the sketches, which is signed and has his address, Mullock's said. \"They look quite typical of an aspiring student hoping to get into art school -- tentative and not very certain about his perspective when he's using pencil and pen, making basic errors by getting the top and the bottom of a candlestick wrong in relation to each other, and so on,\" said Michael Liversidge, emeritus dean of arts at Bristol University in England.", "\"They look quite typical of an aspiring student hoping to get into art school -- tentative and not very certain about his perspective when he's using pencil and pen, making basic errors by getting the top and the bottom of a candlestick wrong in relation to each other, and so on,\" said Michael Liversidge, emeritus dean of arts at Bristol University in England. Letter by Hitler to Britain sells at auction The sketches lack technical skill but are \"not so bad that one can't imagine him learning.", "Letter by Hitler to Britain sells at auction The sketches lack technical skill but are \"not so bad that one can't imagine him learning. \"But there's not latent genius here, and not much beyond a moderate school grade,\" Liversidge said. \"Probably if the artist was at school today you wouldn't encourage him to keep the subject up.\"", "\"Probably if the artist was at school today you wouldn't encourage him to keep the subject up.\" The sketches have been owned by a professional artist who had them for years in his own collection and for his own interest, said Richard Westwood-Brookes, the historical documents expert at Mullock's. The artist brought the works to Mullock's attention. Mullock's plans to auction the sketches April 15 in Ludlow, England, about 125 miles northwest of London.", "Mullock's plans to auction the sketches April 15 in Ludlow, England, about 125 miles northwest of London. They're expected to bring between £4,000 and £6,000 (about $6,100 and $9,100) each, the auction house said. The drawings all date from around 1908 and 1909, when Hitler was a \"penniless dropout\" trying to get accepted into the prestigious Vienna Academy of Fine Arts to train as a professional artist, Mullock's said.", "The drawings all date from around 1908 and 1909, when Hitler was a \"penniless dropout\" trying to get accepted into the prestigious Vienna Academy of Fine Arts to train as a professional artist, Mullock's said. The school rejected him twice, so Hitler hung around the city, trying to make a living producing watercolors to sell to tourists, Mullock's said. The rejection by the academy may have had huge implications for Hitler later in life, Westwood-Brookes said.", "The rejection by the academy may have had huge implications for Hitler later in life, Westwood-Brookes said. \"Many believe that it was this rejection that turned his mind and unleashed the monster within him, which was to bring forth so much evil on the world,\" he said. \"... In a sense, therefore, the academic decision of the art establishment in Vienna can go down as one of the most monumental decisions in all of history.\"", "In a sense, therefore, the academic decision of the art establishment in Vienna can go down as one of the most monumental decisions in all of history.\" Nevertheless, Westwood-Brookes said, \"On the evidence of these sketches, you can see why the Vienna Academy turned him away.\"" ]
