...there's no other city to live in. Live here for six months, and you'll feel it in your veins," an affluent and highly educated aunt told me. The sight of grown men sharing their food with dogs and little kids using the streets as a toilet evokes disgust, and even more sickening is the ubiquitous stench of the stagnant and deadly rain water that never evaporates from the gutters.

Ugast, in disgust, declared a mistrial, at a cost to the public estimated by Defense Attorney Grandison E. Hill to total $150,000. In another sense, the cost may be greater. The victim may not want to go through the anguish of testifying again, and without her there would likely be no case...
