When the argument abated, the family members, few of whom speak English, packed their belongings and went home. Within a few hours an estimated 200 white teenagers surrounded the project and demanded that the family come out. Bricks and rocks were thrown at the apartment, one hitting the youngest baby.

Voyager also discovered a dazzling, doughnut-shaped cloud of electrically charged particles that formed displays similar to the earth's northern lights...
