1.   A small, tree-shaded town of whitewashed houses and dirt back streets, it seems torn from a laconic page of Mexican history.

2.   Bruskin silhouettes distorted and dismembered people, some of them part animal, against lined paper that looks torn from a notebook.

3.   Six weeks later, one lifeboat was found afloat, empty and broken, torn from its davits.

4.   Police charged the group twice and snatched several people as the demonstrators hurled stones and beverage cans and swung wooden poles torn from circular fences around sidewalk saplings.
