Conservative pundits and columnists are working rapidly to demonize Barack Hussein Obama. Once McCain's place at the top of the ticket became all but inevitable, many right-wing talk-show hosts and bloggers began to paper over intraparty differences by invoking the specter of "Clinton OR Obama." But this is one area in which Clinton's invocation of "thirty-five years in the public eye" really does make a difference; even with the head start of that funny name, the G.O.P. media machine would have to go into double-overdrive to rouse the kind of rancor against Obama that...

Next door, Salmar Hussein complains that the CLCs are taking his business. At what first appears to be a travel agency - a desk, a few chairs and a giant mural of a fairy-tale pastoral scene - Hussein runs a real estate business, although he says he hasn't rented or sold a house in four or five years. "The main reason we don't have any business is that the people who come here don't care - they just break the gate and occupy the house. Some people arrange this." He is nervous, afraid to say anything more...
