...poor on both sides are united by a struggle just to survive what most Americans can barely imagine. Mothers in the rural El Paso outpost of Revolucion cross into Juarez to buy methyl parathion, a pesticide so lethal it is banned in the U.S. They sprinkle it around their shanties, and it kills the roaches and tarantulas for a year. But their children play in the dust and dirt, and when they get sick, their parents take them to Juarez doctors, who are cheaper and stay open into the night. If the children die, they are buried across the border...
...another typical Saturday night. A few blocks farther down Revolucion Avenue from the jock-rock clubs, several hundred young hipsters--mostly locals but with a few gringos mixed in--crowd the anteroom of Tijuana's grand old Jai Alai Palace for a nortec party.

Few are allowed to penetrate to the heart of the last socialist bastion in the western hemisphere, one of a handful of communist regimes struggling to ride out the 20th century. Here is where Fidel Castro secretly pulls the strings guiding his country. And where he still pursues with...
HAVANA: As Pope John Paul II arrived at Jose Marti International Airport Wednesday, tens of thousands of Cubans awaited the pontiff in Havana's Plaza de la Revolucion. TIME correspondent Tammerlin Drummond found them more concerned with the political implications than with the spiritual dimensions of Pope John Paul II's visit...
