When cities started erupting into racial violence during the 1960s, dangerously little was known about the phenomenon of urban rioting. Brandeis University founded the Lemberg Center for the Study of Violence in 1966, and it began analyzing the causes of civic disturbances, charting their numbers, and advising community leaders on ways of handling and preventing them. The center stressed the importance of contingency planning for all situations, the usefulness of third-party negotiations and the importance of maintaining the trust of violence-prone groups...
...Baker thinks that a militant sees headlines about ambushes of police and concludes: "I'd better get in on this." Between the two views-the conspiracy theory and the suggestion that attacks on cops are only isolated and unrelated-Dr. John Spiegel, director of Brandeis University's Lemberg Center for the Study of Violence, sees something in the middle.

Instead, city after city has seen a series of small-scale, sometimes premeditated and often fatal armed clashes. "Race-related disorders," reports Brandeis University's Lemberg Center for the Study of Violence, rose from...
...higher levels of the mound, the Peabody team has discovered evidence that the community survived far beyond the neolithic era. Higher still are the remains of a fortified Persian city built in approximately 400 B.C. Lemberg-Karlovsky suspects that it is the ancient city of Carmania, which Alexander the Great conquered without shedding a drop of blood in 325 B.C.

...fertility goddess lying face down near some primitive sculptor's tools. Carved from soft stone and rich in detail, the statuette is long and slender, in contrast to the crude neolithic sculpture thought to be typical of this early period. "In five years," says Peabody Anthropologist C. C. Lemberg-Karlovsky, "this piece will be lectured in all coffee-table art books as a prize example of primitive sculpture...
