...name, Escobar, as too masculine-sounding. She came to the U.S. in 1950, settled in Manhattan, and studied with Hans Hofmann. She speaks in the shy monotone whisper of wind wafting through Spanish moss, seems always to be peeking around the corners of her long black hair with nearly expressionless stealth, and only the keenest humor will send a smile rippling across her lips. It is the same face that appears again and again in her art, penciled on wood, cast in plaster, even peeping from a pasted-on photograph. "Some people have accused me of narcissism," she says...

They arrive in donkey carts, on buses and flatbed trucks, hungry, weary and expressionless. Some cannot write their own names; in the Andean countries many of the migrants speak only an Indian dialect. But they hope for food and jobs, have heard of new factories, schools and hospitals in the big cities. Above all, there is the knowledge that things cannot get worse...
