...Jump! Jump! screamed onlookers as a troubled youth threatened to leap from a twelfth-story hotel ledge in Albany, N.Y. "Jump! Jump! cried another mob last week as a jobless man set to dive off Manhattan's Brooklyn Bridge. Both would-be suicides were eventually talked down to safety, but not before hundreds of witnesses gaily exchanged bets on their fate whilte yowling such taunts as "What's the matter, ya yellow...
