...York City another awful crime. A 28-year-old jogger was attacked in Central Park by a gang of teens from nearby Harlem. Police say the boys hunted her down, beat and raped her savagely and left her for dead. At week's end she remained in a coma...
Last week six youths were indicted for rape, and two others were indicted for a separate attack on a male jogger. According to investigators, these were not crimes of drugs or race or robbery. Newspapers claimed that the suspects came from stable, working families who provided baseball coaching and music lessons. The youths, some barely into their teens, may not have been altar boys, but they hardly seemed like candidates for a rampage. One was known for helping elderly neighbors at his middle-income Harlem apartment complex. Another was a born-again Christian who had persuaded his mother to join...
Vagelos proves that corporate leaders can be straight shooters who are persuasive without being abrasive. To be sure, the trim, five-mile-a-day jogger, one of the few chief executives in the drug business with an M.D. degree (and a mere two weeks of business education from a Harvard seminar), is a demanding boss.

Late dinner conversations on civil rights and torts (Have a tort?). How about Alcott, or Andrews...

At the rate of a mile every twelve minutes, the walker uses up 530 calories an hour to the jogger's 480. The walker also takes fewer risks, according to a number of reports. "We see a lot of runners sent to us with leg and back problems," says Bill Farrell, founder of the Metro Atlanta Walkers Club. "My shins would kill me after running," remembers Elly Christophersen, 30, now a devoted Manhattan walker. "From the standpoint...
