...more readily conveyed by art than ecstasy, presumably because it is more tactile, and the santeros lost no opportunities to stress it. Saint Acacius, an early Christian warrior-martyr, is shown crucified in Mexican military costume, flanked by a V-shaped row of contemporary soldiers. The gaunt, hacked Christs drip blood by the pint, their rib cages and muscles have a flayed pathos that transcends the crudeness of carving and drawing; and in some pieces, like the articulated figure of the Standing Christ, with rawhide-hinged elbows, the imagery of pain acquires an immense expressive force.

Ford is in bully health...

As burglar alarms brayed, looters wheeled off shopping carts filled with sugar, medicines and frozen pork chops that began immediately to thaw and drip hi the blazing sun. Cops in the nearby parking lot watched with amusement, occasionally plucking a few items for themselves from passing shopping carts as a kind of exit toll. Finally a truckload of military police arrived, firing M-16 bursts into the air, and the looting stopped...
