...staff member said, "He said what every body wanted to hear." But there is a tentative inclination on the part of Real Paper staff members to give Linsky his chance to shape the paper without breaking it. They don't credit him with much journalistic knowhow--a recent stint as a Globe editorial writer is his only serious credential--but even a staff member who called Linsky an "oily, greasy guy" concedes that "it's possible that Linsky cares enough about the paper to do a good job with it." It is about time, the staff member said, because things...

"A lot of guys think they're going to be with someone who'll cut their throats," says Patrolman Mike Robitzer, the first cop to live in. He emerged from his threeday, two-night stint without a scratch. Joining an eleven-member family with a father on welfare, he experienced a degree of culture shock. He shared a drafty enclosed patio with a teen-age son. For his first breakfast he was offered "eggs and orange juice." He happily accepted until he noticed that...

Ferguson is not expecting dramatic overnight changes in police-Chicano relations. But already at least one potential explosion was defused by the live-in sessions. Shortly after his barrio stint, Carroll was arresting a Chicano who attempted to rob a store. As usual, a jeering mob gathered and started heckling the patrolman. Then he recognized a youth he had met while living in the barrio. The two men exchanged greetings; the crowd grew silent and slowly melted away.
