Ryan Chittum gives high praise to The New York Times's 8,000-word report on the corrupt practices surrounding Wal-Mart's rapid growth in Mexico. The story, writes Chittum, "has a complicated hero, $24 million in alleged bribes, executive intrigue, and a coverup of serious and credible allegations." Moreover, it's a study in lucid storytelling, and a long form investigation that should get its due.
