In recent years Latin music programs have been smash hits at New York's Madison Square Garden and Yankee Stadium. There is an embryonic curiosity about salsa on the pop scene too, among fans who are no longer charmed by recycled golden oldies-Bobby Vinton's Beer Barrel Polka, for example-or who prefer music that is spicy rather than electronically spacy.

Instead of the planners' vision of broad boulevards in town and garden communities on the outskirts, the illegal building has spawned a chaotic jumble of drab office and apartment towers on narrow, treeless streets. By one estimate, 300,000 people-the equivalent of the population of Wichita,Kans.-now live or work in buildings erected without construction permits...
