...Guevara Rodriguez, the latest officer to represent the mainstream of the conservatives who have controlled the country for 27 years. Two other conservative groups are contesting the election, as is a coalition formed by the Christian Democrats, the nation's major moderate party, whose candidate is Attorney Alejandro Maldonado. More than 200 Christian Democratic Party members have been murdered since 1980, mostly by right-wing death squads. The leftists have no candidate. TIME Caribbean Bureau Chief William McWhirter accompanied the moderates for a day on their unusual-and frightening-campaign trail. His report...

Fuentes makes him a converted Jew both to emphasize his transformations and his antipathy towards the Arab world. His impotency over his own life is analogous to Mexico's lack of independence in the international scene. Just as Mexico...
...Head came to New York bookstores just three years before Carter's visit to Mexico to negotiate oil deals. Fuentes would have smiled at the results of the talks. If the author had written a sequel to The Hydra Head at that point, maybe he would have had Felix Maldonado wake up to find he had regained his original name, or perhaps an ear or a nostril...
