First sentence: Beginning thirty years ago, in part, because of the controversial mythos of my own heritage, mestiza and Mexicana, and partly from having seen two gifted women, Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland, meet untimely and too early deaths, I delved more and more into the phenomena and mythos of sacrifice, the sacrificial victim, and the rites of human sacrifice.
