...University News Release Juan Marichal, Smith Professor of the French and Spanish Literatures, called the atypical Bourbon monarch an important democratic symbol to Spaniards and Latin Americans alike...

The fair's master architects, Perez Associates, claim that the Wonderwall was inspired by Piranesi's etching of the Circus Maximus in Rome, but the multicolored Styrofoam and Fiberglas-mesh structure looks more as if it had been dreamed up in a Bourbon Street bar by the design team of Dali and Disney.

The man in white might be a baker, or perhaps Christ carrying the lignum crucis; the two boys are Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the twins from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass...
...Duchess is what the locals call Simons' imperious mother. He calls her the Doctor because she teaches something cultural at a nearby college. She also knows how to refill her bourbon glass gracefully, sit appealingly on a wicker sofa and pass on the literary tradition. Some of Simons' earliest playthings were books from his mother's library; he is obviously on his way to being well read, although he takes pains to hide the fact...
