...real complaint is that the violence initiative doesn't go nearly far enough. Some laboratory should be looking for the racism gene, or the homophobia gene. Goodwin was right; the inner city is a jungle. But so are the corporation, the newsroom and the White House staff. The language of trial lawyers or bond traders in full testosterone fury is as bloodcurdling as any mugger's. When it comes to social carnage, the convenience-store stickup can't compare with a leveraged buyout, trickling-down unemployment, depression, anger, alcoholism, divorce, domestic abuse and addiction. I'd like to see white...
...discover biological markers that could be used to distinguish violence-prone children as early as age five. Any doubts about the potential for abuse in such a program were erased when Frederick Goodwin, then director of the Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Mental Health Administration, lapsed into a comparison of inner-city youth to murderous oversexed monkeys during a speech about the initiative.

And he agrees with Kotlowitz: "The President doesn't understand what the conditions are in the inner cities. In many respects children in the U.S. are in worse shape than children in Third World countries." His voice betrays commitment and real anguish; all that is missing is hope...
...addition, large companies that choose to operate their own health alliances for their employees will have to pay an extra payroll tax of 1% to support the benefits of other people who are enrolled in the local public alliances. Urban residents will be subsidizing the inner-city poor, the unemployed, the elderly, the disabled and others through more expensive new private insurance premiums. Finally, many economists agree with Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, who says the Clinton system might run out of money; in that case, Congress would have to come to the rescue...
