...child's head got stuck in a railing at Pound Hall. Rescue units arrived to find that the child had been freed...

Giuliani ordered that all "able-bodied" homeless people must go to work or risk losing their city-provided shelter and possibly their children to foster care. The decree raised an outcry from civil libertarians and clergy as well as his likely rival for a Senate seat, Hillary Clinton...
