"The fact is that there is a horrifying teen drug problem in this community and it's not a problem that's been brought to our area by kids who live someplace else," he wrote. "It's our 'good' kids ... for whom we buy cell phones and iPods and who have more than 200 friends in their MySpace.com circles. I've never been more frightened, for my kids and yours."

There lived a singer in France of old
By the tideless dolorous midland sea.
In a land of sand and ruin and gold
here shone one woman, and none but she.
