They believe that lovers or babies will fill the void left by hateful, negligent and even abusive parents. Violence becomes both an outlet and a source of their anger. Some of these people are incorrigible, but the others do the same thing you would in their shoes. On top of all that, they taint the lives of the ordinary citizens in the neighborhoods with the fear of death and the reminder that hard work rarely gets you anywhere if you are from the ghetto...
...handles. Working quickly, Somali servers ladle out two large cupfuls of steaming Unimix, a brownish mixture of maize, beans and vegetable oil, for each person. Suddenly, an elderly woman rushes forward, inadvertently knocking the steaming ration from a small girl's wizened hands. The child howls in pain and anger: the gruel is scalding hot (several other children display peeling scars from previous burns), but far worse, the day's only meal is gone. After filling their pots, the refugees file through the gate -- they are not permitted to eat in the compound -- and settle down in side streets...
Perot had no firm strategy when he abruptly fled the race two months ago. Then, faced with headlines that branded him a quitter, and with the anger of disappointed loyalists, he quickly improvised a strange quasi-candidacy.

Her cousin is, in fact, a preternaturally good child, so Ruth cultivates meanness and petty thievery with gusto. She hides Elizabeth's favorite dolls and into adulthood wears her clothes on the sly. Elizabeth paints (skies only); Ruth toys with starting a publishing imprint (her first book would be a reissue...
...smile. Like Clinton, Bob knows that no matter what the provocation, it's best not to seem annoyed. He'll be no Nixon. To blow his cool is to blow the campaign. Bob has perfected the notion of the dimple as political statement. And maybe he has no anger in him, which is to say no beliefs worth defending with impolitic righteousness. As Paiste says of Bob, "I don't have any idea who he is. I don't have any idea what he's like. I don't think I'm supposed to have any idea...
