John McCain did not celebrate when AP called New Hampshire in his favor Tuesday night. His supporters, downstairs in the hotel ballroom of the Nashua, N.H., Crowne Plaza, erupted in cheers. But upstairs, in the Presidential Suite, McCain and half a dozen others, including his wife, Cindy, continued to watch Fox News. Faces were tense; Cindy crossed her arms and held her elbows like she was keeping herself physically together...

There is no single set of values to be catered to. Half a dozen shops and hawkers' stalls sell all sorts of women's underwear in a back alley, away from prying looks. It doesn't seem to bother the shoppers that the salespeople are all men. But there are also carts hawking undies, where elderly grandmothers cast disapproving looks at young girls...
