...halt to enforcement of Proposition 187, but many Californians -- who passed the Nov. 8 initiative 59% to 41% -- appear to be ignoring the legal injunction and taking enforcement into their own hands. In the past two weeks special Prop 187 hot lines in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Fresno and Sacramento have received thousands of calls from distraught victims reporting impromptu acts of discrimination that recalled the vigilante spirit of the old Wild West. Many of the callers were citizens or legal residents, wrongly suspected of being illegal. "No one has the word undocumented tattooed on their forehead," said Juanita Ontiveros...
...proves. Barich starts at the Oregon border and works his way south through the failed fishing and lumber towns of the north coast. What he finds there, and virtually everyplace else in the great coastal kingdom -- on through Yuba City, Copperopolis, San Jose, Fresno, Bakersfield, Los Angeles, the Salton Sea, San Isidro -- is the hunkered down, fearful middle-aged and the resentful, nihilistic youth who see no future and no present worth the trouble.

...example of overweening ambition. Gore's recent book, Earth in the Balance, an environmentalist manifesto and call to arms that includes the idea of banishing the internal-combustion engine "in, say, 25 years," has been blasted by Republicans as elitist nonsense. Quayle told a group of produce farmers in Fresno, California, last week that "with Clinton and Gore, you can say goodbye to water, goodbye to food and goodbye to jobs." Gore has candidly admitted that if he had known he would be running for Vice President this year, he might have toned down his provocative book...
