...during the past two years by trend watchers who were more interested in the way they dressed and the Seattle scene they came from. Style mavens fixed upon the thrift-shop wardrobe of flannel shirts and torn corduroy jackets, dubbing it the grunge look.

This is as it should be, but it takes time.

Observers recalled other recent incidents, including the unsolved fire-bombing death of a black woman in her house in another formerly all-white neighborhood in Cleveland. ''This isn't something that happened overnight,'' said Avery Friedman, an attorney who specializes in fair-housing law. ''It's been brewing for several months.''
