...really sorry for the person who was mugged, but there hasn’t been an astronomical increase in crime...I’m not worried yet.” Wilson said that the victim of Thursday’s incident was correct to not try to resist the robbery. “I think the person reacted appropriately,” he said. “An iPod costs what, $250 or $300? I’d pay that for my life.” —Staff writer Reed B. Rayman can be reached at rrayman@fas.harvard.edu...

There are those who resist this complication. They say it humanizes evil and that if someone is a terrorist or supports terrorism, that's all you need to know. Such certainty may be appealing in a post-9/11 world. Then again, few people would prefer a suicide bomber over an officious border guard. And when...
