Johnson booked his place in the last four in Newport with a comprehensive 6-2 6-3 victory over Dudi Sela on Friday, the American needing less than an hour to progress.

For starters, the lawmakers proposed an alternative minimum tax along with a slight increase in gasoline taxes. But the two were so watered down that they barely added up, according to the government’s figures, to a mere 1 percent of GDP—an insignificant increase. But the electoral reforms are likely to lead to even bigger problems, threatening the validity of future elections and placing democratic Mexico near other Latin American nations like Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Venezuela, where ostensibly independent institutions increasingly operate at the mercy of their nations’ leaders....
