...Most homegrown terrorism plots are the work of "unremarkable" men, as a 2007 report on radicalization by the New York Police Department (NYPD) puts it, or "a group of guys," as U.S. intelligence officials call them. That's the best they can do, since the profile of a would-be terrorist is becoming less and less obvious. In that kind of fog, small behaviors necessarily loom large.

"Look," Kerik told Giuliani at the time, "you're going to spend the next two years in your...
...Starting in 1994, Bratton wasted no time. A former Boston police chief, Bratton decentralized the stovepiped NYPD, put more cops on the street and did block-by-block crime analysis, deploying patrols to hot spots. By the end of his first year, crime had declined by 12%; in 1995, it fell 17% more...
