Given all that, the real wonder may be that schoolboy massacres are still an aberration. But like crime generally, juvenile violence involving guns has actually been in decline since 1994. A downturn in the ultraviolent crack trade is one reason. Just two weeks ago, the National Center for Education Statistics, in a survey requested by President Clinton, found the incidence of serious crime in schools to be flat.

Impressed with the cooperation of Blondie and his confederates, the government urged leniency. In the future, the prosecutors argued, "other officers...may take their cue from the sentencings of cooperators."
