A leading spokesman for the "bunker" of hard-liners who oppose political liberalization, Giron a few days earlier had warned: "We say no, a rigorous and sharp no, to any change in the system." The celebrant at the requiem Mass was the Archbishop of Madrid, Vicente Cardinal Enrique y TarancÓn. A moderate reformer who has clashed with the regime, the cardinal in his restrained, stately eulogy noted that no man is free of mistakes.

His triumph is due as much to a sense of place as to discernment of character. In his account, the shimmering, arid plateaus and the indomitable Gallic spirit are as palpable as they were in the novel-and as compelling...
When death finally did come for the archbishop in 1888, when he was 73, Santa Fe - and Lamy himself - had changed. "Bishop Juan," as his requiem Mass called him, was mourned by Indian, Mexican and Eastern American alike. "It was," reports Horgan at the conclusion of this superb biography, "the end of a fine...
