...badly damaged and apparently at one point had been torn in half. It is now possessed by a group called the Maecenas Foundation, and in 2004 a Coptic expert named Rodolphe Kasser announced that he was reassembling and translating it. "There are huge holes in it, unfortunately," says Mario Roberty, Maecenas' director. "But I'm astonished at how successful scientists have been in putting things together...
...Zero" theme blazed out of early-90's rec room speakers. A full-blown scene exists today, with a multitude of bands and corresponding aesthetic philosophies; groups like the NESKimoes and their sworn rivals the Minibosses have feuded publicly over the politics of playing the theme song to "Super Mario Brothers" in concert. In their refusal to pander to audience nostalgia, the Minibosses took the high road towards the consideration of video game music as more than a mere party trick.

...STORY OF TUXPAN'S TRANSFORMATION from a provincial town of 30,000 into a major conduit of cheap labor for the Hamptons begins with a single wanderer. Mario Coria, 55, grew up so poor in Tuxpan that at age 11 he left for Mexico City to work in construction, a skinny kid carrying 80-lb. bags of cement and mortar on ramshackle scaffolding, sending nearly all his earnings back to Tuxpan.

When asked if he has a plan for ensuring that the next generation of Tuxpeños won't be lost to the U.S., he says his administration has paid $20,000 for a gigantic Mexican flag...
There are some signs of change, but they're planted in rocky soil. Like Mario Coria, a Tuxpeño named Pancho found wealthy patrons who valued his hard work in the Hamptons. He worked as a gardener at one family's East Hampton estate for more than a decade while his wife Ruth worked as their housekeeper. When the matriarch of the family died, she left Pancho, his wife and three daughters a fair sum of money. Pancho won't say exactly how much, but it was enough to seed his American Dream for Tuxpan: state-of-the-art greenhouses...
