County's branch of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. Facing
protests, a legislative rebuke by the Bellingham City Council
and allegations of racism when it first appeared in October,
the group continues to watch the county's northern border. |

Milford, Mass. -- The folding chair and
the simple wooden desk stuck in the back of a Latino grocery
were a far cry from the marble halls of Washington's Embassy
Row. But Beatriz Stein, the Ecuadoran consul, didn't seem to
mind. -- ''This is my time to help," Stein said over the
tinny cumbia, or Latino dance music, wafting through the store. |
