...that fit in with the good news we keep getting about home sales and prices? It seems if the housing market recovers, that should help the foreclosure situation. It should help. Ironically enough, I think foreclosure sales are contributing to home prices stabilizing. In one way, we have certain markets that may have overcorrected. If you go to a Stockton, Calif., or a Las Vegas or somewhere like that, when there is a bank property on the market, the realtors are getting dozens of offers above asking price.

Up in the mountains, the Indian and Chinese armies monitor a boundary whose line the two countries don't agree on. In certain parts of that murky borderland, the soldiers on night patrols often leave behind evidence of their presence.

The city also likes to root for its own, so much of Pugh's narrative resonates with a certain segment of this city's electorate. The political newcomer won the primary election last August by more than 10,000 votes, beating the incumbent city council president. "Detroiters are so thirsty for leadership," says Mildred Gaddis, a popular Detroit radio host and one of the most astute observers of the region's politics...
