...from Biloxi, and his father, a baker, moved there from Puerto Rico. The young Marino grew up in a cultural and religious tradition derived from the early Catholic French and Spanish settlers, and he still lights up when he talks about Creole gumbos and rice. "I took in my faith like my mother's milk," he says. "Some of my earliest recollections are of my family kneeling around the bed praying to Mary, when I was too small even to be really a part...
Milagro marks a brave attempt at a humanist western. It is a genre in which faith and good works reinforce each other, Anglo pragmatism rubs shoulders with Latino magic, and John Wayne might peacefully coexist with Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The spirits may stir up a gust of wind, a kind of Milagro airlift, to bring the good word to town.

Finally, the village will erupt into...

Finally, Hamilton and others had to evade smoke missiles while dropping a bulky parachute-equipped 500-lb. bomb. Hamilton, alone among all Gunsmoke pilots, elected to try an F-16 computer program called dive toss. The pilot fixes the target inside a box projected on the up screen, punches...
...America, it is also true that no place on earth is better suited to Jewish values and predispositions. Folklore has it that New England parsimony means thrift, whereas Jewish parsimony means miserliness, but the qualities are exactly the same. A dogged middle-classedness; a passion for education; a faith in individual enterprise; a near hysterical sense of family; a driving impulse toward nationalism and security; a belief in individual rights and expression, in reason, in the rule of moral law; a lust for self-celebration; a boisterous embracing of life, underlain by a fearful morbidity; a sentimentality grounded in iron...
