...Cluster. The implications of such findings are clear. The unusual incidence of the disease is enough to imply that it is contagious to some degree. And the discovery that some cases were not diagnosed until three or more years after exposure hints at a long incubation period. The fact that a few of the victims were connected only by unaffected third parties suggests that some people carry the disease without themselves being infected...

Pointing at a beat-up 1952 Chevrolet that reminds the kids of hoodlum movies, a boy suggested, "Look in the gangster car." The big kid eventually found the book-and someone to teach him a lesson from it. But a visitor had to ask: Is this education...
