...bowl that was then taken to the kitchen where it was brought to a frothy boil along with mutton, beef, noodles, vegetables, coriander and scallions. Puffed up like tiny spaetzle, the bread dumplings fleshed out a satisfying soup that was made fiery, sharp and aromatic with additions of chili and sesame oils, and winy, amber-colored aged vinegar. Many ganbei, or toasts, drunk with the strong-smelling mao-tai whisky, cloyingly sweet orange soda or cool, refreshing Chinese beer were raised...

There are floor tiles with the soft black gleam of Oaxaca pottery, bright peasant rugs, wreaths of silver-green bay leaves and garlands of dried black-red chili peppers, leaning towers of books, phonograph records on and under tables, and paintings stacked against and hung on rough- painted white walls.

Small fried won tons are a refreshingly different finger food, and the gently sweet miniature...

But Cortez told a Tucson news conference last week that he probably would have been killed if DEA agents in Guadalajara had not forced his release. Cortez, who claimed he was beaten and had chili juice and carbonated water forced into his nose, said a captor told him, "If you think this is bad, wait until we get you out into the country, and you'll see what Camarena went through." The reference was to DEA Agent Enrique Camarena Salazar, who was kidnaped and murdered in 1985. The Jalisco...
