The Toronto Globe and Mail reported in October on the religious importance of Pepsi Cola in the town of San Juan Chamula, in southern Mexico. Practicing a blend of Christianity and worship of Mayan gods, many parishioners believe their leaders' doctrine that because Pepsi has more bubbles than Coca-Cola, it is closer to the sun and thus more powerful. Bottles of Pepsi appear among holy artifacts inside local churches, and some leaders believe the cola has healing powers. (Coca-Cola officials say the dominance is due purely to Pepsi's payment of kickbacks to the leaders.) [Globe & Mail, 10-30-93] (307) The New York Times reported in October on the trend by Chinese people in Hong Kong to give their children Western names. Among the Chinese-surnamed people mentioned were those with first names of Cinderella, Onion, Creamy, Jackal, Civic, Scholastica, Egmont, and Open. A woman named Neon Chang said that some Chinese complained about her name--not because it was too Western but because they thought Neon is a boy's name.

Huckfeldt's sons are charged with trying to hire a hit man to kill him. [USA Today, 6-2-93] (294) According to a U. S. Department of Energy memo reported by the Denver Post in December, the number of workers it takes to change a light bulb, on a certain vital safety system at the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant, is 43, requiring 1,087.1 person-hours. [Denver Post, Dec92] (294) In an August meeting at a Tampa, Fla., church, representatives of the Union of Independent [Ku Klux] Klansmen and the all-black Pan-African Inter-National Movement vowed to work together to create an independent African nation for African-Americans. The groups agree that integration in the U. S. is impractical and that relocation payments should be made to African-Americans as restitution for historical oppression.
