...some things they may not know? It's truly one of the great institutions in the world. There's very little they cannot do when they set their minds to it. The "Son of Sam" serial-killer case was solved by real detective work. They landed helicopters on the roof of the World Trade Center in 1993 to rescue victims after the bombing. But at the same time, it is a deeply flawed institution, beginning with the leadership of the department and leadership at City Hall.

I'd like a light lunch at a brasserie like Taverne du Passage, tel: (32-2) 512 3731, under the domed glass roof of the Galerie de la Reine, then I'd devote my afternoon to writing and catching up on correspondence. To complete my dream day, I'd like to visit a gallery of fine arts, take in a classical-music concert and have a late dinner with friends at Notos...
