...police sergeant, a veteran of the Los Angeles riots, took in a view of California's San Bernardino Valley -- as best he could. A blanket of smog had smothered the landscape. "Look at that crappy air," he said to his wife Patricia, 32, as they drove home from a Colorado vacation. "Why are we spending the young years of our life in California when we like Colorado so much better?" In the next three months, Hough would turn in his badge and trade his rented Orange County, California, condo for a $103,000 cedar house on 2.5 acres of woodland...
...Susan, 37, agonized and then opted to stay put in Denver with their two small children. It took Northrop four months to land a new job with Diners Club, at 15% less pay. "The determining factor in staying was looking at the economy of California and the economy of Colorado -- they seemed to be heading in opposite directions," he says, standing in back of his brick house in Highlands Ranch, Denver's fastest-growing suburb, in full view of the Front Range that marks the east wall of the Rockies.

Says Steve Gribbon of the Alert Centre Protective Services, a Colorado-based security company with 200,000 customers in 48 states: "Five or six years ago, only estates in the $700,000- to-$1 million range used them. We're now seeing them in $200,000 homes." Says Anthony Potter, a private security consultant in Atlanta: "In the past, people thought home-security systems were too expensive -- that it was only for people with diamond collections." But, he adds, "they are seeing...
...come and fing kill you, do you understand? I'm not f ---ing joking, man -- look me in the face -- I'm going to find you and f ---ing kill you." There are hundreds of skinheads gathered here: American Frontists, Confederate Hammerskins, Atlantic City Skins and others from Texas, Colorado, California, North Carolina, Florida, Nebraska, Tennessee and Canada. Their cars, scores of them, are parked around the field; and from the tall antennas wave their banners: in white-and-black, and red, for white supremacists and the neo-Nazis...
