...first Hispanic mayor and augments a small but growing group of influential and visible Hispanic leaders across the U.S. All Democrats, the club includes New Mexico Governor Toney Anaya and Mayors Maurice Ferré of Miami, Henry Cisneros of San Antonio and Louis Montaño of Santa Fe. When Peña, a political unknown and son of a Texas cotton trader, is sworn in this week, it will end the 14-year reign of William McNichols Jr., 73.

They are now in college, and the divorced author divides her time between a New York City apartment and a suburban home in Santa Fe, N. Mex. These days she keeps her highly praised ear for dialogue in tune through the 2,000 letters that she receives each month from youthful admirers.
