...Latin flavor that has attracted businessmen has also turned Miami into the capital of Hispanic TV and music, complete with a "Latin Hollywood" of resident stars like Julio Iglesias and Gloria Estefan. "Miami has become the meeting place of the Americas for the Spanish-speaking world," says Ray Rodriguez, the Cuban-born president of the No. 1 Spanish-language network in the U.S., Miami-based Univision. "Go to a restaurant like Victor's Cafe, and you know half the people -- the writers, the stars and the reps." Many of them live in Miami: the Venezuelan singing idol Jose Luis Rodriguez...
Since the late '80s, we have been asked to believe that Elizabeth Taylor, Julio Iglesias, Herb Alpert, Gabriela Sabatini, Joan Collins, Princess Stephanie, Dionne Warwick, Liza Minnelli, Sophia Loren and, of course, Cher are people whose eponymous perfumes are better than fragrances to which the names of show people have not been appended.

Skinheads have murdered in every corner of the country. In New York in 1990, 29-year-old Julio Rivera was fatally stabbed and beaten with a hammer by three men connected with the Doc Martens Stompers because he was gay.

Stardust pointed the way to some dire aesthetic directions: if only its duet with Julio Iglesias could be expunged from the collective pop consciousness without doing damage to Nelson's beleaguered bank account. But with a little luck, Across the Borderline will fix him for good right where he belongs, among the best of American music. If still really is still moving to him, then...
...less often than we like to think, but some have been utterly fundamental. One of these was the arrival of iron as a material of sculpture. This happened in the 20th century -- about 75 years ago -- at the hands of Pablo Picasso and his older friend, the Catalan sculptor Julio Gonzalez. It signaled the first basic change in not only the materials but also the nature of the art since the invention of bronze casting, which occurred so long ago that it belongs to the domain of myth, not history...
