Assault Charge. Evanston School Superintendent David Moberly places some of the blame on the difficulty involved in punishing students: "The whole court process has planted in their minds a 'do what you want' attitude." Furthermore, he says, the court process seems to drag on interminably. The suspect in the rape case, for example, remained in school most of the year awaiting prosecution.

He tenses his torso and biceps like an old Charles Atlas ad plugging rock...
...cruel penalty of unemployment is that it also victimizes the 91.8% of the people in the labor force who still hold jobs. The recession causes unemployment; but unemployment itself is a drag on the whole economy. When so many people have no work, real personal income and spending go down. As a result, companies' sales and profits decline. Because demand and profits are lower, businesses reduce their spending for new plants and machines. The economy sputters at well below efficiency...
