Seated atop the rear of a Mexican Army truck in his signature whites and beiges, Emilio Gomez Santiz, the Mayor of the indigenous highland Chiapas village of Ozchuc, ostensibly was giving the military a tour of the damage wreaked by the invading Zapatista National Liberation Army fifteen days before. These weren't the only strange doings in Ozchuc that Sunday. An hour before the Mayor's guided tour of the wreckage, just as several dozen huipil-draped Indians filed from the cathedral's Tzeltal-language mass, the Mexican Army had moved into town with forty trucks, several hundred soldiers, a biplane and two helicopters.
