...reading the riot act to Latin leaders about their failure to curb the tidal wave of cocaine that continues to flood the U.S. But that was before Colombia embarked on its brave and costly offensive against the narcotraficantes and the U.S. launched its military strike against Panamanian strongman Manuel Antonio Noriega, stoking long-standing regional resentments of gringo imperialist intervention...
Last week a federal grand jury in Los Angeles filed kidnaping, racketeering and conspiracy charges against two former high-ranking Mexican officials: Manuel Ibarra Herrera, ex-director of the Federal Judicial Police -- the Mexican equivalent of the FBI -- and his cousin Miguel Aldana Ibarra, former commander of Operation Pacifico, the Federales' antidrug unit. The pair, two of 19 indicted in the case, were charged under a U.S. antiterrorism statute making it a crime to attack a U.S. official anywhere in the world. A trial is unlikely, however, since Mexico does not extradite its citizens...
...group debuts in May with an adaptation of Manuel Puig's The Kiss of the Spider Woman.

...exaggerated gesturalism and surface texture by troweling mortar- thick layers of paint on canvas. Her exuberant, gloppy subjects ranged from youthful nudes (Girls in the Surf with Moon Casting a Shadow, 1962) to kitchen appliances (Refrigerator Painting, 1964) and the goofy, squinting face of her pet dog (Models with Manuel's Sculpture, 1961). In Brown's anything-goes color schemes, brooding burgundies, hot pinks and Velveeta-cheese yellows oozed from the canvas with gooey gusto. In drawings on paper, she even collaged strips of fake fur. McGaw produced more straightforward self-portraits and still lifes, while sculptor Neri's headless...
