...Harlem are so terrified of young criminals that normal, everyday transactions-like crossing the street or selling goods-have become fraught with fear," says Associate Editor Edwin Warner, who wrote this week's cover story on the growing American scourge of juvenile crime. The article profiles a new breed of delinquent-youngsters who casually commit murder, rape, assault and arson. It discusses the reasons for their delinquency, and describes the floundering juvenile justice system that must deal with them...
They include teachers and policemen, postal workers and bus drivers, health-lab technicians and jail keepers, IRS and Secret Service clerks.

In emergencies, they will even make house calls, which...

They are the new breed of discothèque, moth-gathering hotpots of the urban night. Discomania is the latest passion of faddish, fickle American city dwellers, turning daytime Jekylls and Jacquelines into nocturnal and nonma-levolent Hydes and Heidis gyrating through smoke and decibels in a Cinderella world of self-stardom...
