...Everglades. Actually it is divided into three parts. There are 1) the residential suburbs: Hialeah, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, South Miami (where many a homeowner last week had moved into his garage-apartment, rented his house for the winter season); 2) the city of Miami, lovely in segments but raw-ugly in sum, with its own tolerant government and its flamboyant, perennial "reform" Mayor E.
