...devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Some dialogue also hints at satire, probably unintentionally. Asked by a Zealot to compare being dead with being alive, the resurrected Lazarus says thoughtfully, "I was a little surprised. There isn't that much difference." At times Jesus sounds like a mumbling method actor (his first sermon begins "Umm, uh, I'm sorry"), at others like a recent graduate of the Shirley MacLaine School of Theology ("Everything's part...
This same pseudocheese is the primary ingredient of the Cheese Fries. Rather than served in the traditional manner--on a plate and smothered in a cheese sauce--the fries were packed into a paper bag, with the cheese globs troweled in on top. This method results not only in unattractive presentation, but also in messy fingers and poor distribution of cheese--the bottom fries are ignored.

When they failed, Cardenas accepted the nomination of the leftist Authentic Party of the Mexican Revolution and has since forged an alliance with four left-wing parties. "P.R.I. underestimated Cardenas immensely," says Castaneda. "Now the more they antagonize him, the stronger he gets...
...State Department is trying to persuade Lilly to reverse its decision. Meanwhile, they will continue to press Peru to rip out the coca plants by hand. Though ecologically safe, that method has drawbacks: the program last year managed to clear only 876 of the 395,000 acres under coca cultivation...
