BACK AT THE QUINCEAÑERA in Bridgehampton, the festivities continued, yet the price and the promises of immigration were never far out of mind. Julio Sr. was there, but his wife and sons were 2,000 miles away in Tuxpan. Pancho was still in Mexico, so his wife Ruth waltzed with their daughter Samantha, 3. Gabriel sat with his arm around his wife Jani and talked about how their daughter Lena, 8, born in the Hamptons, could petition to obtain permanent legal residency for her parents in 2015, when she turns 18. "But by then," he said, as if suddenly...
...CROSSING THE BORDER HAS BECOME more difficult and expensive, workers are staying longer and bringing their children to live with them in the U.S. Julio, 18, and Carlos, 15, moved to the Hamptons from Tuxpan almost a decade ago with their parents Julio Sr. and Yadira. The boys grew up on PlayStations, sledding in the winter and pool parties in the summer. They speak accentless English and for most of their childhood were average happy-go-lucky small-town kids. But because the brothers were born in Mexico, they have no legal American papers, no Social Security numbers. And that...
...taught literature in Madrid and the U.S. Blood on the Saddle is your basic science-fiction-detective-western-literary romance, peppered with comic detail like a lowlife informant with a sideline in purloined celebrity X-rays ("A colonoscope of Ana Belén?

Reig's gumshoe has an unusual specialty: finding fictional characters who take on a life of their own, a hazard any novelist would recognize. That's what brings Luís María Peñuelas, a writer of popular westerns, into Clot...
When money is at stake, family ties can be stretched thin indeed. The largest U.S. winemakers, Ernest and Julio Gallo of Modesto, Calif., have filed suit in U.S. district court in Fresno against their younger brother, Joseph Gallo, for alleged trademark infringement and unfair competition. Reason: since 1984, Joseph, a longtime California-based wholesale producer of meats and cheeses, has been marketing a retail brand under the name Joseph Gallo cheese...
Ernest, 77, and Julio, 76, say they bear no ill will toward Joseph, 66, but insist they must protect their trademark rights on principle. Otherwise, they argue, anyone would be able to use the family name. But Joseph, who is preparing a countersuit, was upset by a statement in his brothers' suit that shipments of the disputed cheese could conceivably become contaminated and damage the image of Gallo wines, which have been produced since 1933. Joseph's lawyer, John Whiting, points out that the cheeses have won gold medals at the past two Orange County fairs in California. Says Whiting...
