...rough it is on the streets. In 1974, when he was a 24-year-old rookie, a man holed himself up in a house and threatened to kill his wife. Reichert went in through a window alone and got the woman out, but was surprised by the man, who slit Reichert's throat open with a butcher's knife. Reichert got 45 stitches. The scar, shaped like a long pink sickle, slices down the right side of his neck...
...moments in an opening musical medley by stars of NBC's prime-time: the cast of "Scrubs" singing a very lame rewitten version of "Ain't No Stopping Us Now" ("Ain't no stoppin' us now - we got the hits!"); "The West Wing"'s Allison Janney, in a dress slit up to there, doing "Makin' Whoopie" ("no one's makin' money / On Greg the Bunny!") and most bombastic, "Law and Order"'s Jesse L.

...people have welcomed them. Some 400 families used to live here but more than half moved away in the past 18 months as the conflict worsened.

Having spent his teenage years dodging bullets on the Green Line, he constructed the club in the form of an underground shelter. The bizarre interior--a slit in a wall recalls a sniper's nest, and tables are set with memorial photos of yesteryear's entertainers--echoes war and death. "Some people want a postcard version of our history, with no reference to the war," he says. "I don't agree. Amnesia can be dangerous...
...good reason for that. On the whole, we tend to like our monsters large. No accidental bad guys for us - no doubting, fallible, uncertain villains who stumble improvisationally from crime to crime, blinking in occasional surprise at their own power to do harm. No, we prefer cunning, slit-eyed evildoers, malefactors who plan their crimes with dispassionate genius, then execute them with reptilian calm. What sense does a devil make if he acts too much like...
