...wall will surely hurt American interests all across the Americas for a whole generation," wrote State Representative Elliott Shapleigh, a Democrat and a fifth-generation El Pasoan, in a recent Op-Ed. "Is it too much too soon to ask that this wall come down or is it the right thing to do at the right time in history? If not now, when? If not under President-elect Barack Obama, then...
...past month, during El Paso's mayoral campaign, few citizens have been able to ignore the heat.

Newman, arrangements committee chairman and an oldtime El Pasoan, as he doffed his black sombrero to the delegates: "It's getting so you can't tell a cattleman from a businessman." Only half the cattlemen sported high-heel boots and ten-gallon hats. None tucked in his pants. Sheep raisers and cattlemen, who traditionally loathe one another, shared...
