...From the President [of the United States] to the Celtics, there is finally recognition that something can be done about prevention of violence," Prothrow-Stith said, citing her 1995 appointment by President Clinton to the National Commission on Crime Control and Prevention...
Rape isn't a crime which allows for nonchalance. Whether it happens after a party, on a date or in the middle of the day, each rape is like a little murder, killing off the person who was there before with persistent emotional trauma, grief and hopelessness, as well with a loss of self-respect, hope and pride.

Cashiers consulted dictionaries between customers, and even the local organized-crime syndicates agreed to observe an Olympic truce. At the luge spiral, fans sat on banks of snow in earflaps, letting out cries of delight and astonishment as contestants whooshed past in 80-m.p.h. gusts of air. As cheering fellow lugers raised Hackl, lifting the perennial champion to their shoulders, a competing smile played out on the face...
