...Milan headquarters of the carabinieri, as well as the Milan airport and train station. "It's a leak from inside that little by little can grow," says Milan antiterror prosecutor Elio Ramondini. On Dunstable Road, the heart of the vibrant Pakistani community in Luton, an industrial town 48 km north of London, the perplexities of finding a terrorist needle in the haystack of a long-settled, law-abiding group of immigrants are manifest.

Traub adroitly explains how a combination of municipal power and rising real estate values succeeded in driving out the rot. In a new world of tall towers and chain stores, the Disney company played both beauty and the beast--corporate pioneer in the once skanky wilderness but also chief symbol of the bland mass marketplace that the Square is today.
