Last week Father Vega was turning to other problems. Recently, he agreed to double as pastor of a Mexican Catholic congregation in Fort Worth. What he has done in McKinney he wants to do again...
Texas was next on the itinerary; I spent a night in a Fort Worth hotel. I got the impression that the Texans are rather proud of themselves. Many of their cars have stickers on the windows, "built in Texas by Texans." When one woman said to me that "Texans are wonderful people," it seemed like a refrain of what another American told me--"Americans are good chaps." This seems to be a rather widespread belief.

Motorists speeding east on U.S. Highway 80 near Fort Worth last week slowed down and gawked at a cluster of ranch-like buildings on the right-hand side of the road.

Guests will be able to get free ice cubes from refrigerators scattered around the motel, have...
Western Hills was conceived by Fort Worth Manufacturer Hank Green, a onetime hotelman, who persuaded his brother and three friends to put up $400,000. By the time they got through they had run up the cost to $2,000,000. Despite the big overhead, Green wants to keep prices modest ($4 for a single room, $25 for a "penthouse suite"), thinks he can gross $560,000 a year at full capacity...
