Producer of the new school show is WRCA-TV's Patricia Farrar, 26, who gets up at 3 a.m. to shepherd her crew through a dry run at 4:45 before the live-camera lesson. Wearily, she alibis the rooster-rousing hour: 1) nothing else is programmed at 6:30, so the unsponsored show costs the station no revenue; and 2) many Puerto Ricans have jobs that get them up early or keep them out late.

But for most of the villagers, gaiety and great pride overcome grimness. Author Deane is aware that there are lessons to be learned, as well as taught in Andalusia. One lesson well learned: the author's three-year-old son can handle a one-glass-a-day wine ration handily, unless someone feeds him sugar cane. When someone does, the mixture "foments"-or so says an ancient barmaid...
