...described by a publicist as a "very simple" wedding, but for the denizens of the Mexican town of Cabo San Lucas, the marriage last week of Rolling Stone Keith Richards and his longtime girlfriend, Model Patti Hansen, 27, was more flash than fiesta. Best Man Mick Jagger, 40, flew in from Barbados, where he has been under cover with Girlfriend Jerry Hall, 27. Richards' divorced parents were there: Doris, in from London, and Bert, in from New York. Also present were Patti's mother, sister, three brothers and a few fishermen. After the short ceremony, guests were treated...

Indeed, by past standards, last week's inauguration of Miguel de la Madrid Hurtado, 47, as Mexico's 21st President since the 1910 revolution was a distinctly low-budget affair.

At Grace, Cano is president of El Torito-La Fiesta Restaurants (1981 sales: $150 million); he has expanded the division into a 90-unit operation with restaurants strung from Tacoma, Wash., to Tampa. Up to 15 will be added next year...
Last week, after attending a traditional Indian fiesta in Santiago Atitlán, Father Rother died among "his people." Nuns found him in his rectory, lying in a pool of blood. Witnesses said he had been shot twice, once in the left temple and once in the left cheekbone, by three men wearing ski masks. His body was covered with welts and bruises, suggesting that he had put up a struggle. A strapping "Oklahoma farm boy," in the words of a friend, he had said that no would-be abductors would ever take him alive...
