...troubles continued to struggle for his movie. Seeing no alternatives, he says, "I live my life and I end my life with this project." Throughout the four years spent on the film, a continuous series of problems plagued Herzog's efforts. Once he and his crew were forced to flee camp for their lives; later original actors Jason Robards and Mick Jagger pulled out, the former because of ill health, the latter for other commitments. Herzog had to start from scratch with a new lead, Klaus Kinski, while writing out Jagger's obviously irreplaceable part...
...matter of gentrification also has implications for Boston's racial integration problems. Usually, integration in housing occurs after some minority families move into a previously all-white neighborhood; the whites often then start to flee the area. But in Jamaica Plain, for instance, it's been the white professionals who are moving in, pushing minority residents out.

...produced in recent weeks. That policy should be based on the simple observation that immigration to the United States is usually emigration from poverty and oppress on in the less-developed countries. S. 2222 utterly ignores this dimension of the problem. In fact, Simpson believes that migrants do not flee poverty, but rather create it themselves: Unassimilated third world immigrants "may well create in America some of the social, political and economic problems which exist in the countries from which they have chosen to depart...
