This is the promise that Bob Smith holds for every frostbitten media type in America: the promise that Smith's entry into the race will persuade every other Republican to bypass New Hampshire and head straight for California, whose primary in 2000 will be held on March 7. Surely, surely the most populous state in the Union will absorb weeks--nay, months--of every candidate's time, once New Hampshire is off the boards. What does it mean if Mr. Smith runs? Instead of the frozen tundra of Manchester, the sandy beaches of Montecito; instead of a frozen glass...

The record cold wave killed twice as many people as the quake and disrupted, though far more briefly, far more people's lives. In years past, such a week would have triggered the Rose Bowl Effect, whereby frostbitten football fans in Minneapolis or Buffalo lust after the visions of palm trees in Pasadena and vow to move there. Now, if anything, the vision is reversed. More Americans are leaving California than arriving; an estimated 580,000 fled last year to other states, for a net loss...
