...years past, walk-ins were rare at Tracey & Associates, a small employment agency in Providence, R.I. The office sits about four blocks from the downtown foot traffic, and new clients looking for job placement tended to call ahead for information or appointments. But lately people are appearing at the door on the off chance that an in-person cold call will quickly lead to work in an area hard hit by rising unemployment. "All of a sudden in 2008, people are just coming in blindly," says Kerry Tracey, founder and president of the firm. "From brick layers and carpenters...

There's an entrance in the building a few steps from Magnolia, at 1250 Sixth Avenue...
...McCain seemed to ignore the fact that while Washington had certainly demanded a conditions-based formula for withdrawing U.S. troops, the Iraqi government has managed to walk the Bush Administration back to the point where it has accepted firm withdrawal deadlines. The current version, described by U.S. officials as a "final" draft, specifies that U.S. forces will withdraw from Iraq's cities "no later than June 30th, 2009", and from all Iraqi territory "no later than December 31st, 2011."
