But instead of buzzing about their potential golden night at the Oscars, locals are more concerned these days with a very real unfolding drama that has the potential to devastate the views, the unpolluted air and the tranquil lifestyle they hold dear...
...Dear Ms. Coulter, it was nice to have had a chance to see you last Friday in Washington. I wondered, though, if perhaps you’re running out of material.

But their real job was to keep an eye on us and to control the images we would take back home. For example, when we passed any sort of poverty still life?women washing dishes in the gutter, an old dirty truck piled high with cabbage?they either ordered us to put our cameras down or deleted our pictures after the fact.
