Another Nice Mess


Even editors take summer vacations: "He was the right man at the right time—a time when we needed strong, divisive leadership."

Sometimes found in those fajitas
Served up with her margaritas.
Upset stomachs often end a
Dancer's wonderful duende,
And jaleos mucho dismal
Cry out for el Pepto-Bismòl.
