Cossio delights in explaining the subject matter of his finished mural. The crystal sphere at the bottom represents the human soul. Within it is a castle symbolizing the Church Militant. Spiraling up around the sphere are martyrs, saints and dignitaries of the Carmelite order. Borne amidst them on a shaft of light are St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross,* welcomed from above by the Madonna, and Child...
...shuttle-eyed tennis fans who jammed Forest Hills' ivy-hung stadium this week were all but sitting inside a crystal ball. It was like seeing into next December at Melbourne. There, if talent is a measure, Australia and the U.S. will meet for possession of the Davis Cup, held by the Aussies since 1950.

...Stars & Stripes, the French embassy still standing at the old Lone Star capital of Austin. They were even more startled by some of the tall tales Texans told until they realized that it was just gasconnade (as Frenchmen call the braggadocio of their own "Texans" of Gascony). In Crystal City, Texas, the world's self-styled spinach capital, the Gossets found a statue of Popeye in the public square...
