...saved the most vibrant character for last: Maria Elena, which Penelope Cruz turns into one of her boldest, fullest characters. A painter so sexy that Juan Antonio's father still has erotic dreams of her, Maria Elena had been Juan Antonio's muse, competitor and wife; their turbulent marriage ended when she tried to kill him.

Richardson, who served as Secretary of Energy during the Clinton administration, has offered the boldest plan for addressing climate change. He understands the sheer magnitude of the challenge we face, and has proposed nothing short of a revolution in energy policy. He even wrote a book, “Leadership by Example,” about how to solve the climate crisis...
