Cafè Tacvba (pronounced tacuba) has spent 17 years taking elements of contemporary music--from north-of-the-border punk to the indigenous sounds of Veracruz--and synthesizing them into a fluid, singular brand of rock en espa??ol. The song El Fin de la Infancia puts brassy Mexican banda music to a ska beat. Eres is a pop ballad served straight. And Chilanga Banda is a nod to funk. It makes for manic concerts. This two-disc set captures Tacvba's epic 15th-anniversary blowout in Mexico City...
James Sanchez, 21, from the dusty high-desert town of Espa??ola, N.M., is a senior at Davidson College in North Carolina and an aspiring neuroscientist. He figured that at a bigger school he would have been lucky to spend his lab time washing beakers for the star scientists. At Davidson, where there are no grad students, Sanchez's senior thesis is an integral part of a larger three-year study of memory and learning in rats that may offer new insights into Alzheimer's. His professor anticipates that the research will be published in a top-shelf neuroscience journal...
...something other than a sense of duty and patriotism (much more difficult to quantify in any case) figures into that child’s decision.

"U.S. and European networks offer a good product, but they tend to view Latin America in black-and-white terms--and usually black, like disasters," argues Uruguayan-born Telesur director Aram Aharonian, "We'd rather see ourselves in Technicolor...
While Spain's new government is trying to end its patriarchal traditions by allowing women to head the monarchy, the private sector is ahead of the curve. Ana Patricia Botín, 43, a financial veteran, is executive chairwoman of Banco Espa??ol de Credito (Banesto), and when her father Emilio retires as chairman, she may take over the parent firm, family-controlled Grupo Santander, which is Spain's biggest banking empire. Botín, who speaks five languages, has learned how to face those who charge nepotism. "I started at the bottom," she says. "Nobody has given me anything." Indeed, Bot?...
