No, if what you expect is some kind of identifiable, shared Hispanic style; to go prospecting for that between Albuquerque and Miami is like looking for a homogeneous Wasp or Jewish style. But the answer is yes if you grant that the cultural and social experience of Hispanic Americans, their history, memories, imagery and lifeways, are different from those of other Americans.

...summit in Toronto this week, leading a virtually hopeless drive to win more funds for the Nicaraguan contras, working to revise the trade bill, pushing for stringent work requirements in the new welfare-reform legislation, campaigning for Bush. While Duberstein tries to generate enthusiasm in his staff, some observers expect a rash of White House resignations this summer. "I wouldn't want to be here till the bitter end," says a departing aide. "I wouldn't want to be around when Ronald Reagan packs his bags. It won't just be the end of an Administration. It will...
