...were "better dreamed," and Fancy Dan, an embittered ex-convict, take their knocks with less dignity. "A little love somewhere is better," counsels Saroyan; "too much hate melts the bones, makes me cry." His scandalized commentary serves passably as a vehicle for the dramatic skills of Hopson, Jerome Raphael, Lazaro Perez, and John Karlen, if it does little else...
...years after Mexico's leftist President Lazaro Cardenas stunned the world in 1938 by expropriating $400 million worth of U.S.-and European-owned oilfields, no one wanted to put a plugged peso into Pemex. Organized to run the nationalized industry, Pemex almost ruined it; the company was a political grab bag for the hacks of Mexico's ruling Revolutionary Party.

For the first time since the dam was completed in the 1940s, no water will be available this year to irrigate the newly seeded cotton fields below. It has not rained at all this year, and in 1962 only six inches of rain fell, the lowest record in memory. "In La Laguna," goes the expression, "it doesn't rain water, it rains dust." Last month, 30 blue-painted trucks...
