...hotels bear names out of the vanished past of a Raymond Chandler novel: the Palms-Wilshire, the Californian, the Barbizon. But in the once tony Wilshire-Alvarado district of Los Angeles, a swath of wide streets and pink stucco apartment buildings five minutes from downtown, the elegance is gone. There, amid broken glass, dank, urine-stained hallways, and discount shops, live more than 1,000 Marielitos, many sporting the telltale tattoos that mark them as former prisoners in Cuban jails.

A section of Palmer's adolescence was spent residing in the Los Angeles movie community, Beverly Hills, where his habit was to rise early hoping to observe Janet Leigh picking up the paper in her pink peignoir. Now Palmer can be seen in his underwear on billboards, but seldom in uniform on a mound. Pestered by various miseries, Palmer was in the minor leagues last week tuning up for the stretch drive. Ballplayers are notoriously brave about one another's pain, but some Oriole players...
