...physician father-in-law, it looks like a cola and tastes like a blend of cola, cherry and cream soda. The commercials stress the theme that, though many people are reluctant to try it, they like it once they take the plunge. Their approaches range from the outrageous (a Latin dictator besieged in his palace by a howling mob demanding that he take a sip) to the smirking (a lothario urging an innocent girl to "come on" try it, while she purrs the puritan objection: "My parents." Not until the end of the commercial is it made entirely clear that...

Mexicans, he insisted, "have had enough of champagne and banquets. We need a positive attitude." A day later, he reported one positive result: a firm commitment by Nixon that the situation in the Mexicali Valley would be "improved immediately...
...magical invocation of success in the hunt. The astrology so many millions follow today is a direct legacy from the astronomer priests of Babylonia. Even when Christianity spread through Europe, many in the countryside kept their rustic rites along with the new religion. ("Pagan" stems from the Latin paganus meaning "country dweller" and "heathen" from "dweller on the heath.") For centuries, magical arts and Christianity lived in uneasy coexistence, as they still do in Latin American countries. But then, out of ancient lore and the minds of medieval churchmen, came the Devil...
