Smog is double the danger for residents in south of city
Many people driving to the Guadalajara airport to catch an early morning flight express their horror at the pall of smog that always seems to hang over the southern part of the city just after sunrise.

Jim Sheridan, the Irish director of hits such as “My Left Foot” and “In the Name of the Father,” told the Guadalajara Film Festival this week that he plans to work on a movie based on the exploits of the Irish San Patricio Battalion, that defected from the U.S. to the Mexican side in the Mexican–American War of 1846-8.
