...village, Mexico is hollowing out. Fidel Guevara, 39, left his farming hamlet of Manlio Fabio Altamirano, 25 miles west of Veracruz city, five years ago and worked on a farm in New Era, Ore. He moved back last year only because he missed his wife and daughters. His son Hector, 18, is still in Oregon, making $7 an hour at a plant nursery. Guevara's return hasn't been perfect. He says he is lucky to make $6 a week in his butcher shop. His wife Matilde Diaz, 40, chokes back tears over her son's absence and says, "Mexico...

Colombia, birthplace of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and many of the fables about El Dorado, has long been a land where people search for the extraordinary. So two years ago, singer-guitarist Andrea Echeverri and bassist-producer Hector Buitrago of the Colombian rock duo Aterciopelados (ah-tair-see-oh-peh-lah-dose) trekked to Colombia's Putumayo region, befriended a local shaman and joined in what Buitrago calls a healing ritual.

We deserve warriors who've got the moxie to go down in flames. When Achilles is informed by his mother, the sea-goddess Thetis, that vanquishing Hector on the battlefield will precipitate his own demise, he unhesitatingly opts for the gusto. "I'll lie in peace once I've gone down to death," he exclaims. "But now for the moment, let me seize great glory!" (The Iliad is way WWF.) Vince, don't choke with The Game...

...Governor Bush patiently walked to the microphones with one of those "tax families" that have become a staple prop used to explain how his tax plan helps real people. Bowing his head almost as in prayer, he read their vital statistics from the prepared briefing book. "Juan and Brenda Hector make $45,000, have two children," read the candidate to the profoundly uninterested press corps. Soon you could hear the clubs coming out of their cases. Nearly the second he'd finished giving the two-minute introduction to what in a perfect world would be a symphony of questions about...

Bang, Bazooom, Boing went the questions off the tin sides. The Hector family watched the hectoring in a daze, Brenda holding on to her young daughter like a bag of flour. And when you're in the drum you can't hear yourself speak, which was on display again today as the governor repeatedly referred to the "sub-lim-in-able" message in his advertising. Earlier, Bush had denied a Vanity Fair report that he might have dyslexia...
