Some experts also believe Giuliani's crackdown on petty offenders, like squeegeemen who hassle motorists for change at stoplights or graffiti artists who vandalize the subways, has worked to ease more serious offenses. Explains criminologist Lawrence Sherman of the University of Maryland: "Ironically, the best way to reduce murder may be to make lots of arrests for spitting on the sidewalk, simply as a way to deter criminals from carrying concealed weapons." Indeed, gun homicides in New York have declined 41% from the 1994 rate...

One such hospital in New York City, St. Luke's-Roosevelt, estimates that if planned cuts in Medicare and Medicaid discussed by Speaker Newt Gingrich, New York Governor George Pataki and New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani all go through, the hospital will lose more than $35 million per year and may have to eliminate physician training entirely.
