...institutions, Harvard doesn’t have a crime problem. At the University of Pennsylvania, tour guides point out the forest of emergency phones up and down the campus’ main drag, a panacea against the reputed urban ills of the university’s setting in West Philadelphia, a locality that is probably more familiar to college students as the crime-addled birthplace of the Fresh Prince of Belair. During our annual pissing match with Yale, Harvard students love to poke fun at New Haven’s unsafe reputation. As far as perceptions are concerned, Harvard doesn?...

The Crimson star was playing in her third consecutive national title match after finishing runner-up the past two years.

...averaged one murder per day for more than two decades. Detroit's murder rate of 39.3 per 100,000 is six times as great as New York, more than three times that of Los Angeles and more than double that of Chicago. "It's even higher than in Philadelphia," says Cox, adding the total number of murders in Detroit climbed more than 17% last year. While 3,100 American soldiers have died in the war in Iraq, 1,518 Detroiters have been murdered during roughly the same four-year stretch from the beginning...
