Stern in turn uses federal indictments to help take down Boston's most dangerous youths. All data are fed into the computers of the Youth Violence Task Force, an elite 65-person unit that tracks and targets gang activity. "We made threats directly to gang members and then delivered on it," says Police Commissioner Paul Evans. A case in point is the Intervale Posse, for years one of the most vicious gangs...

He withdrew into himself, built a moat around the castle of his isolation. He fed on memories of Gloria--so painful because they were so sweet--and on the survivor's inevitable feelings of loss and guilt...
