Despite such caveats, Olmos is proud of the generally high quality of the current Hispanic-themed films and looks forward to the day when Hispanics will be contending for classic roles, playing a Hamlet or a Stanley Kowalski. "Images are changing," he says. "There are more opportunities for Hispanics now, even more than two years...
Like any Hollywood animal, Olmos thinks on a grand scale, in broad, confident strokes. It is not inconceivable that he might play Hamlet or Kowalski. Or he might take on heroes like Coriolanus or Willy Loman. But consider this option: suppose he decided to develop a movie, Spielberg-style, about a Hispanic family in the suburbs, coping the American way. Instead of a tragic figure, he would be playing Eddie Average. (Then perhaps Eddie II and III). It would be Close Encounters of a fresh new kind, and the vast audience watching the melodrama might also start to recognize...
...more than 6,000 worshipers in attendance, the ceremony in an Alpine meadow near the Swiss hamlet of Econe was deeply moving. To the Vatican, it was anathema.

The result: instant excommunication for Lefebvre and his new prelates...
Soft-spoken but stubborn, French Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre has long been a thorn in Rome's side. After founding an ultra-traditionalist seminary in the bucolic Swiss hamlet of Econe in 1970, he began proclaiming that the modernized church policies of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) were heretical abominations.

He ignored that injunction as well...
...compromise did not take into account a new, more solemn controversy. Last year a local physician noticed an unusually high number of cancer-related deaths in the tiny riverside hamlet of Hartford (pop. 300), whose people have always been accustomed to eating fish from the Pigeon River. In May, after EPA tests detected tiny traces of cancer-causing dioxin in fish from the Pigeon, the survivors of one husband and wife, who died of cancer within a month of ! each other, filed a $6 million wrongful-death suit against Champion. The dioxin controversy may tempt Cocke County to take...
