Efforts of Davis in Firestorms
San Diego Union-Tribune, Nov. 11-Less
than three weeks after becoming the only California governor
to be recalled, Gov. Gray Davis spearheaded the effort to fight
the Southern California fires and aid their victims. Although
many are pleased with the way Davis handled the fire situation,
some San Diego officials accused the Davis administration of
not acting fast enough to request firefighting aircraft from
the military. (Quote by Steve Erie, a political
science professor at UCSD.)

Union Backing Strengthens Dean's Hand
as Democratic Front-Runner
San Diego Union-Tribune, Nov. 11-When
Howard Dean accepts the endorsement of two of the largest and
most powerful unions in the AFL-CIO on Wednesday, it will cap
a tumultuous two-week period that threatened to shake up the
race for the Democratic presidential nomination but, in the
end, strengthened the former Vermont governor's status as the
clear front-runner. (Quote by Samuel L. Popkin,
a professor of political science at University of California,
San Diego.)

Fires Altered our Perceptions, Including
the Sounds we Heard ---- if we Listened
North
County Times, Nov. 12-Two weeks have passed since
smoke from the Paradise and Cedar fires began to fill the sky
over North County, casting an orange-brown pall on the landscape.
All across North County, our senses gave us news of wildfire.
But the sounds in the landscape ---- the soundscape, as acoustic
ecologists call it ---- may have provided our most disconcerting
reports. (Article written by Mark Hineline,
a history professor at UC San Diego.)
