The Network Never Sleeps
Today is Cinco de Mayo, the Mexican holiday marking the defeat of French invaders at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. The Mexicans were ill-equipped and outnumbered two to one, but with their general, Zaragoza, they caused 1,000 French casualties and forced a retreat to the Gulf Coast.
