Much of the company's repertory is tied, perhaps too closely, to relatively recent aspects of Mexican culture, notably the 19th century mariachi music of the French-Spanish upper class. Some of the numbers look to those with long memories, a little like the big musical bit just before, say, Ramon Novarro and Dolores del Rio could have met by moonlight in some hypothetical Latin extravaganza. Far more striking are the pieces in which Choreographer Hernandez has reconstructed, mostly out of ancient manuscripts and drawings, something resembling the ritualistic processions and dances of Mexico's Indian prehistory...
...fell ill in 1954, few people had ever heard of hiatal hernia and fewer knew what it was, although surprisingly many must have suffered from it. Nowadays the diagnosis is being made with startling frequency-in 10% to 12% of all patients who have X rays of the upper digestive tract. But is the condition more common than formerly? Probably not, said Harvard's Dr. Herbert D. Adams at a regional meeting of the American College of Surgeons in Boston. The explanation, he suggested, is that the X rays are now being read with greater care and skill...

Some British critics feel that the difficulty lies in unfamiliarity with the moods and mores of the British upper classes. Others suggest that some acquaintance with the flesh-and-blood originals of Powell's fictional characters is necessary to savor his prose. But would it really help to know that Moreland, the intelligent musician who provides such a sparkling commentary on this world, was perhaps drawn from Composer Constant Lambert, or that the vastly comic Widmerpool was lovingly conjured...
Expansion of industry in Cambridge has been rapid, especially, university-related industries which employ large numbers of upper and middle class people. The NASA project will soon bring even more of these relatively wealthy professional people into the city. In addition, much of the housing has passed into the hands of speculators who exploit the students and professional people at the expense of the poor and elderly...
