...Infante releases, a cover sticker reads: "Por PRIMERA VEZ EN DVD EN EE. UU.!" (For the first time ever on DVD in the U.S.!) That's the first hint that this collection is aimed primarily at those Mexican-Americans who already know Infante as a legend or a loving memory -though it's available at amazon.com and, I'm assured, at Blockbuster and other large stores. Those of us who are linguistically impaired can get English subtitles for the movies; but the extras are in Spanish only. Also, the movies' visual quality ranges from mediocre to muddy. I've seen...
...only a couple of years after his karting debut as an eight-year-old that Hamilton raced to his first British championship. And countless more karting titles followed before he made the switch to cars in 2001. En route to winning the entry-level British Formula Renault series in 2003, he "made seasoned drivers look silly," says Tony Shaw, Hamilton's then team manager at Manor Motorsport.

He is con man Wayne Malloy, who with wife Dahlia (Minnie Driver) and kids have taken over the swellegant life of a man who died en route to his new suburban home. As Wayne tries to scam his way through corporate law, Dahlia adjusts to straight suburban life and the kids try to fit in at private school, the series shows that social mobility isn't as easy as advertised in America and that identity...
...fifth day in detention, I was taken to court. En route, Moyo took me to a café for my first meal since my arrest. I was amazed to see an English breakfast on offer: sausages, eggs, toast, coffee. I hungrily ordered and sat down--only to see Moyo sit at an adjacent table. I beckoned to him, but, head down, he demurred. A man asked to share my table and introduced himself as a manager for the Christian relief organization World Vision. I asked him about this year's harvest. "There's zero," he said. "No crop.
