...them, oddly enough, are very funny. The hero is portrayed as the sort of healthy youth who hung around with Superboy in the halcyon days of Superman D.C. publications; his friend becomes a bop musician temporarily without an instrument; the footman becomes one of those stereotyped Mexicans, all sombrero and somnolence; and so on. Joel Crothers, Joel Henning, and Al Graubard, respectively, play these roles, and Caroline Cross is the heroine. What they lack in finesse (a good deal, for some of them), they make up with luck in being associated with a generally good thing...
...Puzzle. Author Coccioli has told the life and death of Indians of Tepoztlan, which parallel the Gospels in elaborate detail. Skill, insight and a rich, image-decked style make this chronicle more than a theological teaser or a jigsaw puzzle about just which Biblical figure is lurking under what sombrero. Coccioli has achieved a mosaic of miniatures in which the state of Morelos is the Kingdom of Judaea, and in which the pre-Columbian pantheon is transfigured to decorate a Christian altarpiece.

His impeccable dress-frock coat, striped pants, silk vest, black sombrero-is a good example for the junior blue-jeans set ("Mothers love me"). Western buffs approve of his resemblance to the real Earp (though he omits the handlebar mustache) and his ability to handle such firearms as Earp's long-barreled Buntline Special with authentic eélan-he is perhaps the only regular Western type...
...place in the world." He teetered on the concrete border of a Union Square flower bed and praised "one of the greatest civilizations of the world, here on the rim of the Pacific by the Golden Gate." He shook hands in a mixed Negro and Japanese neighborhood, wore a sombrero and scrape and cried "Viva" in a Latin American community, sat at a green-topped table with 16 Chinatown moguls...
