...last week's Mexican report. It found fault with the Jalisco police, but also charged irregularities on Cortez's part. The American agent was first stopped on Aug. 13 because the 1986 Ford Cougar he was driving had improper license plates. At Cortez's side, the report claimed, was Antonio Garate Bustamante, a former Guadalajara police officer who had been jailed on charges of extortion but was later cleared. Inside the trunk of the car was a semiautomatic rifle and an UZI submachine gun, both of which are illegal in Mexico. To make matters worse, Cortez had no identity papers...
...face of such problems, Washington has been considering pulling its agents out of Mexico altogether, and some Mexicans have indicated that they would not be sorry to see them go. "Mexico forcefully rejects any attempt to violate its sovereignty in the pursuit of narcotics traffickers," said Senate Leader Antonio Riva Palacio. In practice, however, American drug agents seem unlikely to leave Mexico, where they have operated since the 1930s. The U.S. needs Mexican help in fighting the incoming flow of drugs, and Mexico needs the goodwill of its northern neighbor to cope with the Latin American country's $98 billion...
There was a time, however, when it seemed that Steve wouldn't get down the academic skills to do either. "Hell" is what he says he put his parents through. Born in Fort Monroe, Va., Earle grew up in Schertz, Texas, just 17 miles northeast of San Antonio. It was the kind of place Earle recalls in Someday: "There ain't a lot you can do in this town/ You drive down to the lake and then you turn back around."

...stance, looking to a future world unified by technology. Yet its rhetoric was bedded deep in Italian life. The core of the futurist group, which coalesced in the early 1900s, was made up of the painters Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carra, Giacomo Balla, Luigi Russolo and Gino Severini, the architect Antonio Sant'Elia and a few writers clustered around the figure of Marinetti, poet, dandy, ringmaster, publicist and red-hot explainer to the global village -- "the caffeine of Europe," as he called himself. They were all Italian; to be Italian then was to inherit a culture dominated by the weight...
...campaign to suppress dissent is unmatched since the Sandinistas took power in 1979. Two weeks ago, Roman Catholic Bishop Pablo Antonio Vega, a critic of the regime, was forced into exile in Honduras. The move drew sharp criticism of the Sandinistas from Pope John Paul II during his pastoral visit to Colombia last week. The Pontiff delivered a speech declaring that he found Vega's expulsion a "nearly incredible act" that was reminiscent of the "dark ages," when priests in Latin America were persecuted. Vega, the second-ranking Catholic prelate in Nicaragua, was taken to the Honduran border by Sandinista...
