...funeral home could be described as aggrieved, however. Among the arrivals were authorities from the Mexican attorney general's office who had come to seize the body, having heard that it belonged not to Flores but to Amado Carrillo Fuentes, perhaps the world's most powerful drug lord...
Even the greatest drug lord's death is not expected to curtail the influx of cocaine into the U.S. "I don't see a big change in trafficking," said James Milford, the DEA's deputy administrator. "All our sources tell us it's business as usual. This guy didn't die in a power struggle but suffered a sudden death when most people in his organization were getting along."

...lung cancer. With no hand to hold, no hair to stroke, no lovely, comforting figure to share his bed, Stewart was bereft and, for all his loving children and friends, alone.

He works every meeting, with gods, mortals or demons, as if it's a bored crowd in a Vegas lounge ("So is this an audience or a mosaic?" he asks after a gag bombs). Even his compliments have the bite of insults: "You look like the Fate worse than death," he purrs to one of three haggish wraiths. And when he blows his smoldering top, it's like Krakatau in orgasm. In character, design and performance, Hades...
