...There's no question about whom the villagers blame for their distress. At a refugee camp in a local outdoor market, where more than 2,000 people live in converted, tarp-covered stalls amid goats grazing contentedly on piles of garbage, graffiti makes their target clear: "Lapindo terrorist," one reads. The company provides food for everyone in the camp, along with services such as a medical clinic and a makeshift mosque. But the villagers are quick to recite a litany of complaints, from the quality of the rations to the health effects of the mud (though the government team says...
...about a third of cases, antipsychotic medication helps to reduce distress, but for many it fails, says Dr. Sara Tai, a researcher at the University of Manchester in the U.K. The drugs also leave many patients feeling exhausted and emotionally numb.

And the high proportion of Latino voters in Texas, her strategists say, will give her an edge. Obama, however, contends that he is making inroads with that group of voters as well, noting that he won more than 44% of Hispanic votes in Arizona. "As Latino voters get to know me," he said...
