We discuss a particularly interesting way to describe the flavor mixing which is particularly suited for models of quark mass matrices based on flavor symmetries. CP violated is maximal or class to being maximal in our approach.20 latex pagesHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyQuark Mass Hierarchies and Maximal CP--Violationtext
