...guerrillas was aided by the death of Guerrilla Leader Genaro Vásquez Rojas in an auto accident last February. But another leader, Lucio Cabañas, is still free somewhere in the remote Guerrero mountains. He is believed responsible for kidnaping the son of a wealthy coffee farmer last month...
Most of the victims died in their sleep. In the town of Qir, 37 early morning worshipers were killed when a mosque collapsed. "I was saying my prayers when a slight tremor shook me," recalled Safar Keshtkar, a 41-year-old farmer. "I had hardly finished when the whole roof collapsed with a shock like a bomb explosion." Keshtkar's wife and four children were buried beneath the ruins of their mud-brick home...
Nature's Geometry.

The farmer undergoes every conceivable trial and hardship. When the woman dies soon after giving birth, the farmer devotedly raises the child (Johnny Mask) as his own, only to see the law return him eventually to his natural father. But like Dilsey in The Sound and the Fury, the farmer endures. Foote's script and Anthony's leaden direction transform this...
