...Mexican citizen from Gilroy, California, where his parents are agricultural worders, Guizar came to Harvard after spending a year in Switzerland. He was born in central Mexico, and moved to Gilroy at eight because his parents were supporting an older brother in medical school and could not make enough money from their "two or three acre" farm to buy textbooks...
Though a few diehards still down tequila the traditional way-straight, with a lick of salt and a wedge of lime-most gringos prefer cocktail variations like the Margarita, made with lime juice and triple sec. Other Aztec ?Oles!: T'n'T (with tonic); Bloody Maria or Mexican Mary (substituting tequila for vodka); Brave Bull (with Kahlua); the Freddy Fudpucker (with orange juice and Galliano); and Cold Gold, a sort of Aztec on the rocks. Tequila will probably never rival bourbon, Scotch, gin or vodka in the U.S. It is additionally appealing in another respect, however. According...
...some, the years at Harvard bring growing distance from the church. Octaviano M. Ledesma Jr. '76, a Math major living in Canaday Hall, attended the Cambridge church regularly the first year after he arrived from his home in Calexico, California, a town of 11,000 near the Mexican border and about 120 miles east of San Diego. The Mormon church there had about 100 members, with only 15 or 20 Anglos. Ledesma's parents converted to Mormonism when he was four or five; missionaries had come to their home, then in Los Angeles, and, he says...
...movie is sentimental, without apology, but hard-edged too. The sight of Peachy's booty sliding down a mountainside recalls the gold dust in Sierra Madre blowing away in the Mexican wind. Huston includes many of the visual asides and unguarded gestures - like a village chieftain preparing for a beheading by sharpening his sword on a stone wall - that have always given his work such rich texture. Caine and Connery make a splendid couple of cronies, full of bluff and swagger...
...fashionable Paseo de la Reforma. It was early Saturday morning, but drunks were already weaving their way down the slope from a little clandestine tavern selling pulque, a cheap but potent drink that the Aztecs used during religious ceremonies. The people of El Trotche are at the bottom of Mexican society, which calls them paracaidistas (paratroopers) because they seem to parachute out of the sky onto any vacant piece of land. Then, like an army of ants, they hastily erect their little jacales-shacks literally made of rubbish...
