Forget Miami, Los Angeles and New York. The next big Latin music explosion is on its way in secondary markets across the United States, and the numbers are there to back it up. Among all genres(种类),Latin music was the only one registering growth in 2005. From tiny Vero Beach in northern Florida to Des Moines, Iowa, in the heart of the Midwest, from Charlotte, N. C. to Salt Lake City, Latin music sales are skyrocketing.
Wilson says there are two major reasons for the increase. One is simply the Hispanic(说西班牙语国家的) population's increase in specific areas, which encourages stores to carry Latin product for the first time. Second, and perhaps more important, is the fact that major companies-whether dealing in music or not-are addressing the Latin consumer at a corporate (公司的) level, creating Latin departments and hiring Latin ad agencies. One of Handleman's suburban Detroit stores, for example, has expanded its Latin section four times in the last two years. Cities like Milwaukee and Des Moines are now stocking Latin product.
Besides, it also results from economic development. It goes something like this: More often than not, a city or country with a seeming important Hispanic population will suddenly expand its construction or offer affordable housing to those working in larger, neighboring cities. This attracts lower-income workers, many of whom are Latin. Small shops and groceries begin to stock a small selection of music. When the Latin population numbers reach a critical mass, the local mass merchant, if there is one, begins stocking the product. Sooner or later, a local radio station follows; first AM, then FM. Sometimes it's a cable TV show or a small TV station.
Of course, there are other driving forces that should not be forgotten, for example, regional Mexican music.

He was killed 45 years ago. Since then his memory has been clouded by dark tales of affairs with the likes of Marilyn Monroe (玛莉莲·梦露), and links with the Mafia(黑手党).
But the myth(神话)of John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the US, will not disappear. As America marked the anniversary of his death in Dallas, Texas ,on November 22,1963 ,questions were still being asked.
The official conclusion was that Lee Harvey Oswald, who worked at a Dallas book storehouse, murdered Kennedy. But all kinds of other ideas have been put forward as to what happened and why.
Some people believe Oswald was a madman, who spent some time in Russia and was an admirer of Fidel Castro, president of Cuba. It is said he was inspired by James Bond's spy novels and killed Kennedy as a gift for Castro.
But Oswald's brother thought he was a sad and lonely man who murdered the president to get attention and show off his shooting skills.
Meanwhile, some experts said that Oswald was really aiming for Texas Governor John Connally. He was said to have been angry with Connally, who was also secretary of the navy, over how he had been forced to leave the service.
A large number of people think the truth has been covered up on purpose ;even now, surveys show that more than half of Americans believe that Oswald was not working alone. An investigation (调查)found that four shots were fired ,with one shot coming from the building that Oswald was in.
But two days after the murder, Oswald himself was killed by Jack Rubinstein, a night-club owner. Rubinstein had Mafia connections and this has led to the theory that they were actually responsible for killing Kennedy.
Lyndon Johnson, who became president after Kennedy, has also been accused of being behind it all. According to reports, Johnson was sworn in (宣誓就职) even before Kennedy's death was announced. "We have a really tough decision that we don't want to face. There was a conspiracy(合谋)and people want an answer, " said Barr McClellan, who has written a book about the murder.
"The myth is very powerful," said Robert Dallek, a historian at Boston University, who has just published a book about Kennedy. "He was the first president to appear on television. He is frozen in our minds aged 46, forever young, energetic and charming. "
