Reporter Scott Gold's Southland chronicles

POINSETTIA PARK-The fact that Katan Khaimov was murdered has been hard enough for his neighborhood to accept. But the awful coda of his life has added to the soul-searching. Neighbors, it turns out, heard him dying, crying for help.

MONTROSE-In this Glendale suburb, residents are waging war over the war.

POMONA-For nearly a quarter of a century, Sister Nuala Ryan has worked at Lanterman, California's oldest institution for the developmentally disabled.

SAN DIEGO-John Hood has created many works as a Caltrans graphic artist. But the picture of an immigrant family running has resonated far beyond his office cubicle.

SOUTH-CENTRAL-It was once L.A.s answer to the Harlem Renaissance. Today, South-Central is synonymous with urban blight. Much of the community is now a transient, threadbare tapestry of people whose common thread is poverty.

PALM SPRINGS-Called by some the nation's gayest city, it is described as a center of aging men with sexual hyper-drives.
