...discovered frothing at the mouth. Both had swallowed large amounts of an antianxiety drug. Not long after, 10 guards were lured into a medium-security bunkhouse where a detainee was apparently getting ready to hang himself with a bedsheet. In the ensuing melee, prisoners wielded broken fan blades, light fixtures and pieces of metal against riot police, who fired pepper spray and rubber pellets, leaving several lightly injured on both sides. It was the most serious incident since terrorist suspects were first taken to Gitmo after 9/11...
...commend Bennett for shedding light on a little-known, crucial issue. It pains me that young girls are forced to find safe haven in jails and orphanages to escape sex trafficking, and I'm horrified that this just recently became a problem, following the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime.

When Sole asks her niece Paula, "What's wrong with you?" (not knowing the girl has just been forced into murder), she shrugs and replies, "I'm at a difficult age." But the real epiphanies are not comic. Cruz, in a fortissimo performance, sings (lip-synchs, actually) the flamenco song "Volver" with a passion that expresses Raimunda's indomitable peasant will...
