Legend has Cabot's men lowering wicker baskets into the teeming Atlantic and bringing them up laden with cod. For more than 400 years the hardy Newfoundlanders who settled "the Rock" competed vigorously with Europeans in the rich fishery that developed.

"They should go and destroy Beverly Hills," said one rioter. "Hey, the police don't even bother to stop." A minute later, someone lit a match, and what was left of the store went up in flames. Watching the carnage, neighborhood resident Verdis Barnes expressed rage over the King verdict: "The video...
