Ruben Martinez
"At the rest stops and Piggley Wiggleys across this land, you'll find Mexicans -- always two three or more. They just jumped out of a box car at the train yard in Davenport. They just washed their face at the sink next to you in the Dennys in Dallas."

Notes
From A Snug
"In the Protestant stronghold of Shankill Road, the wall murals show more bravado. Here, portraits of men in black masks and holding guns loom anonymous and menacing. And, Princess Diana, elegant in her tiara, looks out of place in this gritty, cheerless neighborhood."
--Diane Richard, on her trip to Belfast, Ireland -- a part of the world where walls are deeply ingrained in the history.
