<h2>In Painful Past, Hushed Worry About Obama</h2>
<span class="author">By JEFF ZELENY</span>
</div>
<div>
<p>DALLAS — There is a hushed worry on the minds
of many supporters of Senator Barack Obama, echoing
in conversations from state to state, rally to rally:
Will he be safe?.</p>
<p>In Colorado, two sisters say they pray daily for his safety.
In New Mexico, a daughter says she persuaded her mother
to still vote for Mr. Obama, even though the mother feared that
winning would put him in danger. And at a rally here,
a woman expressed worries that a message of hope and
change, in addition to his race, made him more vulnerable
to violence.</p>
<p>«I’ve got the best protection in the world,» Mr.
Obama, of Illinois, said in an interview, reprising
a line he tells supporters who raise the issue with him.
«So stop worrying.»</p>
<p>Yet worry they do, with the spring of 1968 seared into their
memories, when the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator
Robert F. Kennedy were assassinated in a span of two
months.</p>
<p>Mr. Obama was 6 at the time, and like many of his admirers,
he has only read about the violence that traumatized the nation.
But those recollections and images are often invoked by older
voters, who watch his candidacy with fascination, as well
as an uneasy air of apprehension, as Democrats inch
closer to selecting their nominee.</p>
<p>Mr. Obama has had Secret Service agents surrounding him since
May 3, the earliest a candidate has ever been provided
protection. (He reluctantly gave in to the insistent
urging of Senator Richard J. Durbin, Democrat of Illinois,
and others in Congress.) As his rallies have swelled
in size, his security has increased, coming close to rivaling
that given to a sitting president.</p>
<p>His wife, Michelle Obama, voiced concerns about his safety before
he was elected to the Senate. Three years ago, she said she
dreaded the day her husband received Secret Service protection, because
it would mean serious threats had been made against him.</p>

<h2>Conservative Distrust of McCain Lingers Over ’05 Deal
on Judges</h2>
<span class="author">By CARL HULSE</span>
</div>
<div>
<p>WASHINGTON — Back in 2005, Senator John McCain
of Arizona and fellow members of the so-called Gang
of 14 were hailed as heroes in some quarters when
they fashioned an unusual pact that averted a Senate vote
on banning filibusters against judicial nominees.</p>
<p>Now Mr. McCain’s central role in that effort, which cleared
the way for confirmation of some conservative jurists,
is cited as one reason for lingering distrust of him
among many conservatives. The power to appoint federal judges
is seen as one of the most crucial presidential roles
by many on the right, and some continue to believe the
agreement undermined the Republican leadership at the precise
moment the party was about to eliminate the ability to use
procedural tactics to block judges.</p>
<p>James C. Dobson, an influential conservative leader, noted Mr.
McCain’s role in the bipartisan Gang
of 14 in his announcement that he could not support
the lawmaker as the Republican nominee under any circumstances.
Other conservatives still resent it as well.</p>
<p>«When people hear he was part of the Gang of 14,
it leaves a bad taste in their mouths,» said Phil
Burress, president of the Citizens for Community Values, based
in Ohio.</p>
<p>Even some colleagues now backing Mr. McCain consider the judicial
agreement a sore subject. «We had the votes to put
both parties on the spot that whoever is president,
Republican or Democrat, has a right to appoint and
we have the right to vote up or down,» said
Senator Orrin G. Hatch, Republican of Utah and a former
Judiciary Committee</p>

<h2>Fewer Youths Jump Behind the Wheel at 16</h2>
<span class="author">By MARY M. CHAPMAN and MICHELINE MAYNARD</span>

<div>
<p>DETROIT — For generations, driver’s licenses have been
tickets to freedom for America’s 16-year-olds, prompting
many to line up at motor vehicle offices the day they
were eligible to apply.</p>
<p>No longer. In the last decade, the proportion
of 16-year-olds nationwide who hold driver’s licenses has
dropped from nearly half to less than one-third, according
to statistics from the Federal Highway Administration.</p>
<p>Reasons vary, including tighter state laws governing when teenagers can
drive, higher insurance costs and a shift from school-run driver
education to expensive private driving academies.</p>
<p>To that mix, experts also add parents who are willing
to chauffeur their children to activities, and pastimes like
surfing the Web that keep them indoors and glued to computers.</p>
<p>Jaclyn Frederick, 17, of suburban Detroit, is a year past
the age when she could get a Michigan license. She said she
planned to apply for one eventually, but sees no rush.</p>
<p>«Oh, I guess I just haven’t done it yet, you
know?» said Jaclyn, a senior at Ferndale High School,
in Ferndale, Mich.</p>
<p>«I get rides and stuff, so I’m not worried
about it. I’ll get around to it, maybe this summer
sometime.»</p>
<p>Until she does, she has company. The national rate of licensed
16-year-olds dropped to 29.8 percent in 2006 from 43.8
percent in 1998, according to the Federal Highway
Administration.</p>
<p>The falling rate of teenage drivers is perplexing
to Michael T. Marsden, an expert on car culture and dean
of St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wis.</p>
<p>«It’s a big change in a major American ritual
of driving as early as possible,» Mr. Marsden said</p>

<p>George-Jordan Dimbo, 11, is an Irish citizen, but his father,
Ifedinma, is not.</p>
</div>
<h2>Born Irish, but With Illegal Parents</h2>
<span class="author">By JASON DePARLE</span>
<div>
<p>DUBLIN — Cork-born and proud of it, George-Jordan Dimbo
is top to toe the Irish lad. He studies Gaelic, eats
rashers, plays hurling, prays to the saints, papers his walls with
parochial school awards, and spends Saturdays at the telly
watching Dustin the Turkey, a wisecracking puppet, mock the
powerful.</p>
<p>If the Irish government has its way, he may soon
be living in Africa.</p>
<p>George, 11, is an Irish citizen and has been since his birth
when Ireland, alone in Europe, still gave citizenship
to anyone born on its soil. His mother and father, Ifedinma
and Ethelbert Dimbo, are illegal immigrants from Nigeria, who brought
him back to Ireland three years ago, judging it the best
place to raise him.</p>
<p>Since then, the unusual trio — the Irish schoolboy and his
African parents — have shared a single room
in a worn Dublin hostel while facing a prospect dreaded
by children on both sides of the Atlantic,
a parent’s deportation.</p>
<p>«Dear justice minister,» George wrote when he was 9.
«I heard my Mommy and Daddy whispering about
deportation. Please do not deport us.»</p>
<p>«Remember,» he added, «I am also
an Irish child.»</p>
<p>Thousands of Irish children face similar risks, living
in a country where one or both parents do not
legally reside. Their stories find abundant parallels in the
United States, where an estimated five million
children — including three million American
citizens — have parents who are illegal immigrants. New
efforts to catch them make fear of deportation a growing
factor in American life, the flip side of generous laws that
make infants instant citizens.</p>
<p>The battle over the «I.B.C.’s» — Irish-born
children — stems from a decade of head-turning
change that has brought this island of red-haired Marys and
blue-eyed Seans the demographic version of an extreme
makeover.</p>
<p>For centuries, Ireland was a racially homogenous land
of emigrants. Now it is a multicultural nation
of immigrants, whose share of the population,
11 percent, is nearly as high as that in the
United States.</p>
<p>Years of Irish prosperity have drawn Polish plumbers, Lithuanian
nannies, Latvian farm workers, Filipino nurses, Chinese traders, and
sub-Saharan asylum seekers. The town of Portlaoise, about
40 miles southwest of Dublin, has the country’s first
African-born mayor. The Synge Street School, where George Dimbo says
his Hail Marys beneath a plaster Virgin, is walking distance
from the city’s first mosque and rents classroom space
to two Chinese academies.</p>

<h2>Rising Inflation Creates Unease in Middle East</h2>
<span class="author">By ROBERT F. WORTH</span>
</div>
<div>
<p>AMMAN, Jordan — Even as it enriches Arab rulers,
the recent oil-price boom is helping to fuel
an extraordinary rise in the cost of food and other
basic goods that is squeezing this region’s middle class and
setting off strikes, demonstrations and occasional riots from Morocco
to the Persian Gulf.</p>
<p>Here in Jordan, the cost of maintaining fuel subsidies amid
the surge in prices forced the government to remove almost
all the subsidies this month, sending the price of some fuels
up 76 percent overnight. In a devastating domino
effect, the cost of basic foods like eggs, potatoes and cucumbers
doubled or more.</p>
<p>In Saudi Arabia, where inflation had been virtually zero for
a decade, it recently reached an official level
of 6.5 percent, though unofficial estimates put it much
higher. Public protests and boycotts have followed, and
19 prominent clerics posted an unusual statement on the
Internet in December warning of a crisis that would
cause «theft, cheating, armed robbery and resentment between rich
and poor.»</p>
<p>The inflation has many causes, from rising global demand for
commodities to the monetary constraints of currencies pegged
to the weakening American dollar. But one cause is the
skyrocketing price of oil itself, which has quadrupled since 2002.
It is helping push many ordinary people toward poverty even
as it stimulates a new surge of economic growth
in the gulf.</p>
<p>«Now we have to choose: we either eat or stay
warm. We can’t do both,» said Abdul Rahman Abdul
Raheem, who works at a clothing shop in a mall
in Amman and once dreamed of sending his children
to private school. «We’re not really middle class
anymore; we’re at the poverty level.»</p>
<p>Some governments have tried to soften the impact of high
prices by increasing wages or subsidies on foods.
Jordan, for instance, has raised the wages of public-sector
employees earning less than 300 dinars ($423) a month
by 50 dinars ($70). For those earning more than
300 dinars, the raise was 45 dinars, or $64. But that
compensates for only a fraction of the price increases, and
most people who work in</p>

<h2>Mother Is Held in L.I. Slaying of 3 Children</h2>
</div>
<div>
<p>A Long Island woman described as emotionally disturbed and
afraid of losing custody of her children called the police
on Sunday and led officers into a blood-spattered bedroom
where her young daughter and two small sons lay slain
on a bed, investigators said.</p>
<p>The woman, Leatrice Brewer, 27, who lived with the children
in an apartment in the Nassau County hamlet of New
Cassel, was taken to a hospital for physical and mental
examinations, the police said. Late Sunday evening, she was charged
with the murder of all three children.</p>
<p>Neither the police nor the county medical examiner said what caused the
death of the children, who were identified as Jewell Ward, 6;
Michael Demesyeux, 5; and Innocent Demesyeux, 18 months old. But
investigators said one appeared to have been drowned, while the
others had been slashed to death.</p>
<p>«It was a very disturbing scene, not only because they
were children,» Detective Lt. Kevin Smith of the Nassau
police said of the bedroom where the victims were found,
at 891 Prospect Avenue in New Cassel. He declined
to give details, pending inquiries by homicide detectives and
the medical examiner.</p>
