Home to more than 700 species, it has one of the largest animal collections in the United States. But, although the zoo has expanded and upgraded its exhibits many times since it opened in 1914, the cages are small, the landscaping looks droopy, and some of the animals seem depressed. Still, kids who haven't recently been to SeaW...

The Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center in San Antonio is an emblem of the political changes brought about by the civil rights movement of the 1960s. It was a Voting Rights Act decision that transformed the San Antonio City Council to single-member districts so that a substantial number of Latinas and Latinos and African Americans were elected, forcing a redistribution of arts money and redefining the cultural matrix of San Antonio.
