...first year taught me an awful lot about college and about colleges. Life up the river made me realize that, for whatever reason, you sometimes end up where you don't belong. Knowing when, where and why to go becomes a matter of survival. And Harvard might not be your paradise, just as MIT wasn't mine. Everyone makes mistakes...
Though the gang members have halted their internecine bloodletting for now, police point out that they have hardly become model citizens. According to the Reiner report, gang members commit six times as many crimes as people from similar backgrounds who do not belong to gangs. "Each one is a mini crime wave, and together they are a major crime wave," says Reiner. Opinions vary on what role gangs played in the riots, but there is no doubt that they were involved.

Discussion is reduced to jolts & of electric horror and freezes instantly as attitude -- as racial stereotype. Society becomes a war of videos, in which orderly brainwork, any reasoning over rights and wrongs, is impossible. Cosby gave way on American television screens to endlessly reduplicated, hall-of-mirrors replays of the Rodney King video and the truck-driver video: the truck-driver video being the one shot from...
