It was now 11:29; because of the open line, the 911 dispatcher knew for certain--for seven long minutes--that the gunmen were there in the library and were shooting fellow students. At that early stage, though, only about a dozen cops had arrived on the scene, and none of them had protective gear or heavy weapons. They could have charged in with their handguns, but their training, and orders from their commanders, told them to "secure the perimeter" so the shooters couldn't escape and couldn't pursue the students...

...Giuliani administration on the defensive. "We're not going to be separating children from parents," says deputy mayor Joe Lhota. "We're asking able-bodied people to work 20 hours a week for their shelter. What's wrong with that?" Still, homeless advocates argue that the hard-line laws brush aside the fundamental right to shelter recognized by cities, including New York, for the past decade. What's more, they contend, such approaches are only a Band-Aid. "The homeless problem is not just a housing issue but a mental-health issue, a domestic-violence issue and an economic issue...
