...ghetto, we would have to get into the suburbs." Black Jack was chosen because it was one of the few areas in northern St. Louis County that was zoned for multiple-family dwellings. Named Park View Heights, the $3.5 million project would have consisted of two-and three-story brick homes, broken by green space and recreation areas. The 210 tenants would have been families with incomes ranging between $5,528 and $9,800. But then the trouble began...
Blackheath is a respectable but hardly fashionable London suburb, its casual greens bordered with militarily regular rows of staid brick homes.

Soldiers in battle gear walk slowly down streets with loaded submachine guns crooked in their arms, muzzles pointed skyward but fingers on the triggers. Smashed shopwindows are boarded up. Scaffolding surrounds bombed buildings...

A family argument where a man ups and throws a brick at his girlfriend and cuts her forehead can be handled in countless different ways. The man can be arrested, either for Simple Assault or for the felony of Assault With a Dangerous Weapon. You know perfectly well the case won't be papered as a felony; chances are it won't be papered at all. But the felony charge looks good on the monthly tabulation (just as it looks...
