Down by the River
Lionel Bruno Jordan was murdered on January 20, 1995, in an El Paso parking lot, but he keeps coming back as the key to a multibillion-dollar drug industry, two corrupt governments -- one called the United States and the other Mexico -- and a self-styled War on Drugs that is a fraud. Beneath all the policy statements and bluster of politicians is a real world of lies, pain, and big money. Down by the River is the true narrative of how a murder led one American family into this world and how it all but destroyed them. It is the story of how one Mexican drug leader outfought and outthought the U.S. government, of how major financial institutions were fattened on the drug industry, and how the governments of the U.S. and Mexico buried everything that happened. All this happens down by the river, where the public fictions finally end and the facts read like fiction. This is a remarkable American story about drugs, money, murder, and family.

Schemers & Dreamers
Whether any plan to enter Mexico was carried out or whether the leaders were U.S. citizens was unimportant to the Mexican government. To Mexico the significance was that the groups recruited, organized, and plotted their entradas from the United States in full view of the U.S. government even as newspapers in both countries published dozens of articles about the endeavors.".
New Mythological Figures in Spanish Cinema
In the 1970s, especially after Franco's death in 1975, Spanish cinema was bursting at the seams. Numerous film directors broke free from the ancient taboos which had reigned under the dictatorship. They introduced characters who, through their bodies, transgress the traditional borders of social, cultural and sexual identities. Post- Franco cinema exhibits women, homosexuals, transsexuals, and delinquents in new and challenging ways.Under Franco rule, all of these dissident bodies were 'lost'. Here, they reflect new mythological figures, inhabiting an idealised body form (a prototypical body).
Apaches of the Dessert
In this book Javier Ortega Urquidi, a native of Camargo, Chihuahua, portrays the history of a racial group which played an important part in the formation of the strong character of the men of northem Mexico. Employing impressive investigation and masterful sensitivity, the author, without following a rigorous order, transports us to the heart of Apache life in the Chihuahua desert. The lives of Mangas Coloradas, Cochise, Vitorio, Ju and Geronimo will be an authentic discovery for the most exacting reader. The thematic variety, the stylistic elegance and the poetic language employed in this essay of ideas, meditations and reflections about Apache life, accompanied by an important accumulation of historic notes, take us on a journey in time. Without departing from fact, the author moves between the poetic and the didactic. Both questions and anecdotes are considered in this book, through the wide-ranging freedom of theauthor´s style as he reviews the similarities and the differences that are found in various sources.
