16 Oct 05 Life Study. Mendieta exhibit traces history’s impact on the artist
“It takes a little more than a minute for the young woman to mark a wall with her hands and arms covered in animal blood. When she’s finished making the simple but unnerving marks in red, she simply walks away. The sleeve of her shirt bears a bloody stain. Her face is void of expression.
You can see the woman make these marks over and over in an old, silent Super-8 film from 1974 transferred to DVD. The red-marked film marks the entrance to the tough and compelling show, Ana Mendieta: Earth Body, Sculpture and Performance 1972-1985 at the Miami Art Museum. The show, curated by Olga Viso and organized by the Hirschhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., is in Miami on its fourth and final stop in a tour that has included museums in New York and Iowa, where the Cuban-born Mendieta (1948-1985) was especially active during her brief but prolific and forward-minded and now celebrated career.”

11 Oct 05 Recalling de Céspedes: true hero of the nation
“In 1963, as a medical student in Madrid, I visited for the first time the Alcázar of Toledo and lived an emotional moment when shown the telephone that Gen. Jose Moscardó used to say goodbye to his son: The son gave his life to the enemy, but did not give up the Spanish people’s fight for liberty, symbolized by that Alcázar.
I remember my pride recalling that we had a similar episode in Cuba. That’s when Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, the father of the Cuban nation, had his son, Oscar, taken prisoner and used by the Spaniards as a hostage to blackmail Céspedes. Céspedes responded: ”Oscar is not my only son, I am the father of all the Cubans who have died for Cuba.” And Oscar was executed on June 3, 1870.”

28 Sep 05 The Mouth Of Mencia. Latino Comic Pokes Fun With a Word That Has Lost Some of Its Sting
On his new television show, “Mind of Mencia,” funnyman Carlos Mencia is just loving the B-word. He calls himself Comedy Central’s “resident beaner.” He does bits along the line of “You know you’re a beaner when . . .” He has a routine called “Out the Beaner.”
He did his act a few weeks ago for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus in Washington. Some people laughed, some people winced. At a recent taping of his cable show at a Hollywood studio, the pie-faced cutup from the barrio of East L.A. stood before a whooping audience and talked about Hurricane Katrina. “You want to know how bad it got? Mexico sent us help! They said it was 39 trucks filled with 180 soldiers.” He rolls his eyes: “I’m telling you white people . . . there’s at least a thousand beaners there right now.”
