Whether CPOP can actually drive down the crime rate is still unproven. The most thorough study of its effectiveness, a 1981 examination of an experimental foot-patrol program in Newark, found that it did not decrease crime. It did pay off, however, in psychological well-being. The visible presence of so many patrolmen made people feel safer and better disposed toward the police...
...hearings on proposals to extend government control over the cable industry, the letter bitterly criticized signal quality, response to service requests and "dramatic" rate increases. "Under the current statutory framework, we lack the authority to address many of these complaints," said the signers, led by Mayors Sharpe James of Newark, Maynard Jackson of Atlanta and Raymond Flynn of Boston...
Excerpts from a tract by a staunch atheist?

Newark's Catholic Archbishop, Theodore McCarrick, has decried the "offensive attacks" on Catholicism...

The rest of the year he lived in a modest Elizabeth, N.J., apartment where he washed his own socks and underwear in the bathroom sink rather than use the coin-operated laundry in the basement...
