...pattern in these 464 deaths is depressingly clear: guns most often kill the people who own them or people whom the owners know well. Despite the outcry over street gangs and drug dealers, the week's homicides typically involved people who loved, or hated, each other -- spouses, relatives or close acquaintances. Only 14 deaths were in self-defense. Just 13 involved law- enforcement officers; no on-duty police officer was killed during the week. And despite the current controversy over military-style assault rifles, most of the killing took place with ordinary pistols, shotguns and hunting rifles...

What stands out beyond the spectacle or even the dancing is the warmth of the manners the characters show to one another. The Russians know how to animate never-never land...
Beyond technique lies the elusive area of style. Kirov dancers seem to know viscerally how to put across the drama in the music. A ballerina may fall off point more than her American counterpart, and her fouettes may veer out of control. But apparently this bothers neither her nor her bosses.

"They want the world to know their children are more than statistics," Kramer explained.

Atlanta stringer Joyce Leviton found that some relatives "wanted to talk for long periods, as if explaining to a stranger would help whatever had gone wrong." Pursuing a picture of a gang...
...personal conflict is far more subtle than simple black and white. "I want to be known as a talented young filmmaker. That should be first," he says. "But the reality today is that no matter how successful you are, you're black first. You know what Malcolm X says: 'What's a black with a Ph.D.? A nigger.' Why should I spend my time and energy getting around that. I know who I am, and I'm comfortable with that . . . It's difficult because I don't have the luxury white filmmakers have. Hollywood makes 500 films a year...
