...took 3 1/2 years to roll out ovens, the biggest thing to hit Starbucks since the blender's 1995 debut.

The odor of open gutters, animal pens and trash fires fill a thin haze that floats through the neighborhood, where posters of Sadr hang on many buildings. When U.S. patrols rumble into the area in armored vehicles, pigeons soar as lookouts signal their comrades as to the Americans' whereabouts. Gunfire often follows. Typically militia fighters will fire a volley of shots at a checkpoint manned by Iraqi security forces near a U.S. patrol. They may linger to fire a few more shots at U.S. troops arriving...
