He and his Japanese-American friends were confused about whether they would be personally affected. "Among some of us, there was an impression that since we were citizens, we would not be taken in," said Ishino, a San Diego-born U.S.

Up to speed

In an ideal world, everyone goes the speed limit and is a kind and courteous driver. In the real world, however, people don't go the speed limit if it's too slow, and it's pretty hard to find anyone who actually goes 35 mph on westbound Saginaw Street from Hagadorn Road to Coolidge Road.
