Popular Assembly members mark the Mexican Day of the Dead in Oaxaca city's main plaza, Mexico November 1, 2006. Tourists were back in the graceful center of the Mexican city of Oaxaca on Tuesday, mingling with riot police who last weekend drove out activists demanding the ouster of a reviled governor. Most of the city remained under the control of protesters, but Oaxaca residents and American tourists sat on benches in the leafy central plaza, the heart of a five-month-long protest against state Gov. Ulises Ruiz. [Reuters]
