Throughout the lecture, he emphasized his desire to produce objective art. The lecture started off with a sepia-toned childhood photograph...

No one in the mainstream of Mexican politics seriously contemplates an offensive northward. Mexico City car mechanic Santiago Gomez finds the ad funny, but would prefer California to be in U.S. rather than Mexican hands. That's because he plans to move to Los Angeles later this year to work with a friend already there. "I don't want to fight a war to reclaim these lands," he said smiling.
