| Mexican Museum still searching for a home
Thirteen years ago, San Francisco's Mexican Museum unveiled the model for the handsome new home it planned to build on Jessie Square across from Yerba Buena Gardens: a terraced six-story structure clad in rough red stone, designed by Mexico's foremost architect, Ricardo Legorreta. That signature building promised to raise the profile of the grassroots museum whose splendid collection of Mexican and Chicano art - about 14,000 objects encompassing pre-Columbian, Mexican folk art, modern and contemporary works - could not be displayed adequately in its cramped quarters at Fort Mason. But after years of delays and stalled fundraising efforts, the Legorreta building has yet to rise, and probably never will. "It's likely that it won't be built," said Tom Peterson, a longtime trustee of the Mexican Museum, which was founded in a Mission District storefront by artist Peter Rodriguez in 1975.
Editorial: Warnings don’t help economy (Jan. 23)
So just shut up people and eat your beans and rice. If you survive, you can bore your grandchildren telling them how bad it was starting back in '08 and how! you nearly starved. Besides there's not going to be a recession, just a slight correction. Nothing more. Don't worry, be happy. " .
A vote for Obama, and for something larger
Most of the Obama voters expressed no animosity for Clinton. "If she can win, that would be big too," said Chandler.
But others said they had been distressed in recent days by comments from Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton. They felt she had downplayed King's role in advancing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 when Clinton emphasized President Lyndon B. Johnson's role in winning passage of the law.
They didn't appreciate her husband telling an interviewer that electing the relatively inexperienced Obama would amount to "a roll of the dice."
Many of the Obama voters said their high hopes were tempered by the reality around them.
Orangeburg, a community of about 14,000, remains stratified. It has neighborhoods of stately homes and broad lawns not far from ramshackle trailers and open trenches that carry sewage along the streets.

Mass. Program Aids American Indian Vets
AP) BEDFORD, Mass. - Army veteran Craig Cournoyer left behind his community of 400 people on a South Dakota reservation, moving thousands of miles to learn how to fix moldy, broken down ventilation systems. With the nearest town 30 miles away, there is not enough skilled labor remaining among his fellow Yankton Sioux in Wagner, S.D. Any construction work puts a financial drain on the tribe, because members have to hire outside workers. "There's lots of work out there, but nobody there is trained to do it," said Cournoyer, 47. A program specifically designed for American Indian veterans aims to help ease that burden, by providing training in carpentry, ventilation, plumbing, electrical work and more at some of the nation's premier trade and craft schools in the Boston area.
