There are scars to heal and miles to go before Hispanic-Hollywood assimilation is complete. Begin with the wondrous and confounding diversity of Latin cultures. "Cubans," says Julia, "are as different from Mexicans as French are from Italians."

But Cubans don't identify with the underclass. Would you, if you owned Miami...
...Paul II had long been eager to end the rebellion because, though small, it still threatened the unity of Catholicism. Weeks after becoming Pope in 1978, he granted Lefebvre's request for an audience (their only meeting) and repeatedly expressed his desire for peace.

Some half a dozen such devices are now available, most of them experimental, bulky and requiring risky open-heart surgery. But at a medical conference last week in Reno, O. Howard Frazier, director of the transplant program at the Texas Heart Institute in Houston, described the first...
Thousands of other sufferers are turning to nutritionists, acupuncturists, herbalists, hypnotists and yoga instructors. AIDS sufferers swear by such self-help books as You Can Heal Your Life (Hay House) by Louise Hay, originally written for cancer patients. Another favorite is Love, Medicine & Miracles (Harper & Row) by Dr. Bernard Siegel, a Yale Medical School professor who theorizes that patients who take a role in their own treatment have the best chances of survival...
