...part because they do not want their victims to know their real identities. Often the nicknames derive from a physical feature, such as "the Tall One," or "the Mustachioed One." In South America, such aliases as El Aleman (the German), Cara de Culebra (Snake Face) and El Carnicero (the Butcher) are common. One particularly brutal torturer at Chile's Tejas Verdes camp near San Antonio used to tell prisoners his name was Pata en la Raja, meaning Kick...
...Erich, in all his savage fury, is nothing to compare with Abdullah the Butcher. The Butcher was found in the jungles of the Sudan by a American explorer, who came across him battling wild mountain lions. Realizing the man's fantastic potential as a professional wrestler, they sent out a party to capture him. Although few in the party survived, the Butcher was captured, and shipped to America in a cage. Many of his opponents wished he had remained therein.

Shark is a highly esteemed food in the Mediterranean, the West Indies, the Orient (indeed, delicately flavored shark's fin soup is a standard dish in U.S. Chinese restaurants) and Latin America, where savory dried and smoked...
...characters line up between those who, like Rocky, can stand to fight the good fight and those who cannot, are also wonderfully played. Talia Shire gently coaxes out the part of Adrian so convincingly that her transformation from ugly duckling to beautiful swan becomes believable. As Paulie, her butcher brother who hates freezing himself in the meat house each morning and warming himself at the neighborhood bar each night, Burt Yound succeeds in explaining why the miserablesometimes don't give in. Perhaps best of all is Burgess Meredith, Rocky's manager. In a touching scene in Rocky's apartment, where...
