...Election Day is like the Super Bowl, you work the whole season to prepare for just one day and when it's over, it's over," McCabe said. "It's so quick...the day after, you lock the door, turn off the lights, clean the files and then it is over...
...with a third dragster, Chi Chi Rodriguez (John Leguizamo, who is not so much a queen as a saucy serving wench). They stop for repairs in a nowhere town where all the men are brutes or louts, and all the women worn out trying to survive.

Growing up in Santiago, she remembers the great aunt "who at the end of her life began to sprout the wings of a saint," and the clairvoyant grandmother who, Allende insists, could move a sugar bowl across the table with her mere gaze. And she tells of how, at eight, she was molested by a fisherman and found him dead the next morning...
