New Haven is a metaphor for the America which on Tuesday
elects its Senate and House of Representatives. It is the
country's fourth poorest city, where the ghetto laps at the walls
of a university worth $11 billion (£7bn) in tax-exempt
endowments, educating America's next generation of rulers. A
sign at the freeway turn-off advertises New Haven as the
birthplace of President George Bush.


It is a city with the same infant mortality rate as Malaysia and a
terrifying rate of deaths from Aids - one day care centre alone
commemorated the loss of 600 clients at a memorial service on
Wednesday. But it is located in America' richest state,
Connecticut, which has, proportionally, more millionaires than
any other. "
