...Cubans claim, with a great deal of truth, that the Jews and other Anglos are just jealous because Spanish is the growth industry in Miami. But the economics of the New Prosperity have caused misery for a lot of Miamians. The influx of South Americans has driven real estate prices through the roof, three-bedroom houses sell for $500,000 and more; one-bedroom apartments start at $400 in many parts of town. The only people who can afford Florida's standard of living are the tourists, and this has set everyone in Miami on edge. With the area suffering...

But, says John Kotsakis of the Chicago Teachers Union, "schools are now being asked to be more tolerant of disruptive or criminal behavior than society."

In 1968 Husband Bob attended a conference in the south of France. The country was gripped by unrest, and he managed to get his head in the way of a policeman's cosh. First aid was administered by a beautiful female physician who then prescribed house calls. What patient could resist such doctor's orders...
...three villains if Ferdinand, the Duchess' other brother. Shiels and Raymond have gambled heavily here, casting a woman, Kate Levin, as the lustful Ferdinand, but their bet pays off. Ferdinand is passionately in love with his own sister: Levin's casting makes incest all the more unsettling. Insanely jealous of his sister's husband, Ferdinand destroys his sister rather than see her happy with a man he thinks unworthy of her. Unlike Cort and Sands, Levin moves awkwardly--on purpose. Ferdinand struggles against an over-whelming passion, giving in to impulse and then regretting it. Clad in black, Levin contorts...
